Average daily food consumption is above the 2,500 kilocalorie threshold to maintain human body weight in all regions of the world. A remarkable achievement.
Back before agriculture was invented, anthropologists suggest that modern humans, Homo sapiens, had a highly varied diet. Not perhaps as individuals who ate what they could get, but in the aggregate.
Everyone with sufficient, safe and nutritious food all the time is perhaps the most egalitarian definition in the diplomatic lexicon. We like it and here is why.

Animals eat plants, humans are animals, so humans eat plants. Indeed, we eat many different plants according to this simple logic. Some animals eat other animals. Humans are one of these animals.
If we all ate less meat or even ditched animal-based food altogether would such a radical diet shift save the planet? Assuming that she needs saving, not a given, then would vegetarianism be enough?
Food is plentiful and cheap in many parts of the world and most of it is made to be eaten in abundance. A market success with a twist.
