It didn't/doesn't enlarge "one's" brain, it provided the extra energy necessary for the members of the species to have larger and more differentiated brains, compared to their ancestors, who ate less meat.

Plus they're an easy source of protein, and for the most part delicious. And trust me, if chickens could talk we'd deep fry 'em anyway.
Then how come we don't eat parrots?

Too much work for what you get? We don't eat voles because it would take 30 to make a sandwich.
Most of the animals we consume have the following traits:
Easy to domesticate
Good return on effort for food size
Pleasant taste (don't believe me? Try coyote)
I won't pretend that there are arguments both for and against veganism, but frankly telling someone who eats meat that it's evil is no different than some Christian telling gay people they're making baby Jesus cry. They aren't listening because you sound like a loon, and it feels so good that they can't help it. I'm having chicken tonight, and I hope it died peacefully, but deep down I can't summon up any real caring about it. They're just food.

I used to think the same thing but it turns out we're not. My evidence? Our teeth. Compare the teeth of your average human with those of a horse, a cow or other plant eating animals with similar dental arrangements, and also with those of carnivorous species such as dogs, cats etc. The noticeable difference is in the size of the meat-eating teeth in our mouths in relation to the other teeth. With cats & dogs, canines & incisors are noticeably more prominent. With herbivorous animals like horses, while canines are present, they're of very similar size to plant-eating teeth like the molars. So according to our teeth we're herbivores.

No it isn't. Meat-eating, and the factory-farming of food animals that such a diet supports, causes measurable harm to other beings as well as to the environment unlike homosexuality and is a significant cause of the looming water crisis as well as food shortages. It takes around 100 times more water to make a kilo of animal protein than a kilo of grain protein and that isn't taking into account the water used to grow fodder crops to feed the animal in the first place. Then the difference in water consumption increases significantly. Here's my source.
The analogy is further flawed because said crises are further exacerbated by human overpopulation which is the fault of all reproducing straight people - not gays. It might be more accurate to compare heterosexuality with meat-eating but even then saying heterosexuality is 'evil' is being ridiculous.
Drawing a comparison between eating meat and homosexuality in the hopes of making the claim that neither are choices is merely making excuses because you can't be bothered to change your diet. Just to be clear, I say that as a person who eats meat; I'm not trying to come at you from any sort of moral high ground here.

I have pretty sharp canines, when I was a kid I used to scare my sister and other friends by pretending I was a vampire. Then at night I would get scared that I offended some vampire and he'll come to teach me a lesson. Lol.
When was the last time you bit into and devoured a live animal, then and only then can you consider yourself an omnivore, cooking it and using a knife and fork is cheating for sure, cows would eat you if you were cooked and seasoned excessively. They are still herbivores, as are you, I presume.
I could swear some people's ancestors ate tons of parrots. They talk too much!

Then your bold empty claim will be dismissed for the bold empty claim it is.

The link was already posted in the post above yours, you don't even read the forum, you just troll

Are you seriously trying to take credit for someone else doing YOUR homework?
Now that is a serious kind of low....
Please forgive me for my ignorance, my friend. I don't disagree with those studies or that animal agriculture and live stock care cause harm, but as I went thru the link I couldn't find (yet) that it addresses generic meat eating (the subject of this thread) as part of nature; it addresses extended intervening acts done by humans. One can just find an animal in a trip in the wild, hunt it and eat it to feed hunger. Animals eat animals in the nature yet the ecosystem goes on at its best as it has been for ever.
I think the problem here is processing, not eating meat by itself.
