RE: Why do humans want to eat everything???
Eating meat and animal products is an addiction! Why pay for animal cruelty and slaughter plus poor health when it's not necessary?

Hmm, I think addiction's a hyperbole in this case...
The world of meat is not black and white, I think if you look outside of the population of 1st world nations like the United States (and even within the United States) you'll see that people aren't "addicted" to meat. I go lots of meals without meat, actually. I think affinity is the more accurate description.
When you go into the question of why pay for animal cruelty, then it becomes a very philosophical debate about many of the things we pay for: the prison system, centralized currency, keeping people in debt, social rules that are unfair for the majority of the population, etc.
I'm not saying your question isn't valid. It's a very important question to consider. And having the luxury to consider it says a lot about where we've come as human beings, animals with no physical talent for survival and yet we are now the top of the food chain. Maybe it is our responsibility to care for animals, maybe it isn't.
The food chain is a myth! Human beings were created and placed in a fruit garden! And it's definitely our responsibility to care for animals, not torture, rape, enslave, and slaughter them!
I'm sorry I can't tell if you're being serious anymore...
If the fruit garden you're referencing is the Garden of Eden... Then kudos, you really trolled me.
Otherwise, the main arguments of human origin 200,000 years ago (I think actually more since they recently--a few months ago--discovered human fossils dating back to almost 300,000 years ago) are that we came from Africa or that we came from Asia.
In either scenario, there were no fruit gardens.
There were no gardens, period.
In fact, not only were there no fruit gardens, but there was also no concept of "responsibility." Responsibility is a human idea, too. So defining what our responsibilities are can only be defined by humans. But there is no single responsibility set forth by any intergalactic natural laws of the universe. The universe could care less.
I don't believe earth has been around more than 10 - 15 thousand years. Scientific dating methods are not accurate! And no I'm not trolling! The first humans were put in a fruit garden.
