A steak sizzles on a grill. A chicken roasts in the oven. Bacon crisps in a pan. These everyday scenes trigger reactions ranging from mouth-watering anticipation to moral discomfort. Few topics spark more heated debate than whether humans should eat meat. Some frame it as an evolutionary birthright, others as an ethical catastrophe.
