Because humans require real meat to get all of our nutrients and our body is built with the idea of meat in mind. People who dont have any meat in their diets and/or taking synthetic proteins to try to "replicate" that part of their diet are harming themselves in the long run.

TLDR: Humans need meat, get over it.

This just isn't true though. Well planned vegetarian diet covers all the nutrients you need.

And to be honest there's always a weird "stones in glass houses" frame of argument used here, because 1) meat eaters don't tend to be concerned about balanced nutrition and don't eat meat out of a nutritional requirement, and 2) meat has many ill health effects when consumed in excess, which most people do
