Its about the ratio, so its more at whatever scale. Plus it does not kill you or other beings like eating meat. Plant based protein just more bio-available and a purer protein than meat, simple. Meat putrefies in the human stomach because its not designed to break flesh down. The human mouth does not have the teeth necessary to tear and rip apart flesh. The list goes on. Its just a mad, mass delusion that people have been conditioned with from a young age and most never question it, let alone stop their disgusting habit.
