not everything used to be a forest. mono-cropping is more destructive to the land than pasture-raised animals. it cannot be done in as many places, and requires far more water from irrigation.

there’s a great point in that clip regarding social stratification from domesticating plantlife, and how we are NOT unique in this regard, as similar features have been found in certain ant species.

there are also plenty of videos of herbivores making caloric intake from other animals when given the opportunity. so if there really some sort of hierarchy induced by a creature’s ingestion of animal-derived fats, proteins, and cholesterol how come it isn’t across the board?
