You are not hunting the animals. Go set traps in the woods, gather a bunch of friends with sharpened sticks and some good throwing rocks, and drive some deer into your traps. That is what’s “natural.” Again, I think it’s fine if you choose to eat meat, but the meat industry is not “natural,” nor is it harmless.
Eating meat is also natural, even if meat production techniques are no longer natural.
This isn’t an argument about nature though, it’s about diet and nutrition. Eating animals is more nutritious for us and vegans require supplements to compensate; this is because we evolved with animal & fish meat as a significant food source. Vegan diets are inherently less healthy than omnivore ones, just like carnivore diets are generally less healthy too.
This isn’t to say what vegans are doing isn’t a noble endeavor. It largely is noble as it helps the planet. It shouldn’t however be seen as the default or that eating meat is abnormal because eating meat is what we were built for. It requires modern dietary planning and supplementation to maintain a healthy vegan lifestyle and it might not even he possible in certain stages of life.

Yeah you just described hunting being natural.
