What you're referring to as taste is in fact taste + nutrition
The more animal flesh you consume, the younger you die and the more major diseases you suffer. Google: "all cause mortality meat".
you have no idea what their nutritional needs or risk factors are
Well now, that's not entirely true. If you will grant me, at least for the sake of this discussion, that /u/dullbananas is a homo sapiens, then I know, to a scientific certainty, that the more meat this homo sapiens consumes, the younger they will die, and the more major health consequences they will suffer.
Would you like to see the several significant and influential studies, some of which span several decades, that establishes this as an indisputable fact or would you just like to keep coming up with the same pat objections that everyone who wishes it was okay to keep eating meat tries to use to rationalize the decision?
no, you don't
I think you meant to say, "no, you don't, and I won't look at any evidence to the contrary, la la la, i cannot hear you, la la la"
this is a straw man. it's also not evidence.
I asked you if you wanted evidence and you just said stupid shit at me. Would you LIKE evidence, now?
it's impossible to have evidence about the future.
Then why are you so afraid to say, "Yes, please show me your evidence. I will read it and consider your point?" You would rather attack my evidence without ever knowing what it is, because you are not engaging in good faith.
I've presented exactly as much evidence as you have.
If you want a nice introduction to why a proper plant based diet is in most cases better for longevity listen to this interview. The 2½ hours are really rewarding and you'll get some very important (live-prolonging) information:

This 7 min excerpt from the interview briefly touches why changing our diets is imperative for the survivability of future generations:

The podcast of Simon Hill is called "The Proof".
the first video says flat out that there is no conclusive science about a single diet that is best (it's around the 15 minute mark), and the second seems to support what i've been saying in this thread: individuals choosing to buy one thing or another is irrelevant. what matters is the systemic impacts and systemic change.
not afraid of anything. I have no interest in providing any semblance of validity to your specious argument
