The only way meat is "optional" for humans is if you're fine with a deficient diet, or if you radically supplement your diet with all kinds of pills and supplements in order to get everything the body needs. In other words, your nutritional intake becomes much more prohibitive and expensive, and there is still a risk of being deficient in multiple areas.

Humans evolved as omnivores. Eating meat is probably why we evolved large and powerful brains. Without meat, humans might've never evolved beyond primitive stages or developed successful civilizations.

Most people don't have the funding or information necessary to maintain the type of expensive vegan diet that would make meat obsolete. That's the first major reason why veganism is a stupid religion. The second major reason is that...the universe does not care how many chickens die. It literally makes no difference. To make easy and sustainable food sources an issue about morality is stupid because it isn't an issue about morality, unless you're talking about situations where humans are at risk due to the conditions in which some animals are raised. (Diseased environments, full of antibiotics and hormones for forced growth, etc)
