The carnivore section of society often wants us to believe that we have been eating animals forever. That being vegan is "woke" and new. It's not though. From the Buddha to Pythagoras there were many who questioned if eating fellow creatures is the right thing to do. This Syrien Philosopher known by his latin name as Abulola Moarrensis wrote an interesting poem about the topic in the first century AD.

Abu al-Ala Ahmad ibn Abd Allah ibn Sulayman al-Tanukhi al-Ma'arri, also known by his Latin name Abulola Moarrensis; was an Arab philosopher, poet, and writer from Ma'arrat al-Nu'man, Syria. Because of his controversially irreligious worldview, he is known as one of the "foremost atheists" of his time according to Nasser Rabbat.
