I read methane and immediately translated it in my head to "cows" lol. I'm sure the vegans and vegetarians will hate me for saying I do think humans are naturally supposed to eat meat, but nowhere near as much as the typical western diet. The easy answer here (that would also be a lot better for our health) would be to just not eat red meat for every gotdamn meal.
Vegan here, no hate from me - we can debate your use of the word "supposed" until we both pass out, but at the end of the day, I'm 100% supportive of the "weekday vegan / vegetarian" - people who save meat for weekends/special occasions (and I would strongly encourage those weekend meat eaters to avoid red meat at all times both for their health and the environment).
