We don’t need meat to survive but eating meat (in moderation) makes it much easier to ensure you get all nutrients you need. Especially when you have children, it’s very dangerous to attempt a vegan diet. Also, killing animals is part of nature and happens all the time. What’s not natural, and what’s unethical, is making their lives miserable before that happens.
And speaking of ethics, you just said two comments above that we should spread this disease worldwide, and were fine with people dying from it just for following the diet they’ve had all their lives. Not very consistent in my view.
From what I understand (besides all the other effects of this it apparently causes), the end result for someone affected, if they were an omnivore that ate beef/pork/lamb would just switch to eating all seafood/poultry?
So, besides the extremely problematic ethics of spreading an extremely harmful condition worldwide, I think the net effect would be that a different set of animals would be getting killed, not that people would suddenly be eating more ethically…

“Many people who get it are over 50, so the first symptom some of them have is a heart attack.”

Most insufferably stupid take possible.

eating meat is probably amoral
Eating meat is not unethical, making animals suffer is. Humans are natural omnivores. Is it unethical to exist?

hardly anyone kills animals at all, except pests or by accident

This tick just keeps on giving.
