hot grease smells way better then anything cooked in it tastes, meat or veg.
humans evolved eating meat, but a lot less of it then most of us do today.
sort of like being vegetarian every day that isn't some kind of holiday, and only eating meat to celebrate them.
that's pretty much the way most people ate before food animals were mistreated so we could have lots of it.
and if we had to butcher it ourselves, most of us wouldn't eat that much of it very often.

There are actually people in Africa and in the far north who live almost exclusively on meat diets. They apparently get full nutrition because they eat the whole animal. I have not-so-distant ancestors who trapped and hunted most of their food in Alaska. I would have to be very hungry before I could kill an animal for food.

There are also many people in parts of the world who eat larvae, crickets, grasshoppers and ants. Makes me wonder how my nation’s people lost in the wilderness could possibly starve. Guess they get eaten by wolves... or vultures. Eventually we all become food for something, don’t we?

Also, as I recall in the above-mentioned restaurant the meat of the day (while still alive) was brought around and tried to persuade the diners to eat it. And I thought choosing live lobsters was too creepy.
