Yep, I am a carnivore

No you aren't. You are an omnivore that has learned to be able to
digest (some) meat after processing it with fire etc.

You of all people should understand how scurvy comes about!

Quite, which goes to the importance of a natural balanced diet.
and am not stupid enough
to eat nothing but lettuce and cheese etc.

Hardly a 'balanced diet' so well done for that. And the doctor could
well advise you against eating cheese but unlikely to suggest you stop
eating lettuce.

Or may not.

And I don't tell other what they should eat either.

You would if they were holding a knife at your dogs throat.

That is effectively what you do to your dogs, eat this or starve.

But it's not about what people should or shouldn't eat, it's about
what should be considered food to a supposedly advanced species in
2021.

Yep, and advanced species evolved to eat meat and meat products as part
of a healthy, natural balanced diet.

An advanced species recognises other sentient beings and doesn't do
anything to them that he wouldn't do to someone of his own species.

If there was another animal that could understand the concept of
consent, then I might agree with you.

Most animals, even ones that appear sentient to you, are likely to be
acting on pure instinct.

We are more advanced that other species. However, some are parasites,
living off everyone else and contribute nothing to society.

We act on instinct too. If I punch you in the face, you will try to avoid it. If you feel hungry, you find food. It's all instincts, we just do what is required to make ourselves comfortable. And if you had any sense you would treat an animal that doesn't know how to solder a circuit board as just as important as you.
