There is no nutritional need for humans to eat any animal products; all of our dietary needs, even as infants and children, are best supplied by an animal-free diet. ...

The tiny facts that the virtue-signalling T i m and his
fellow-travellers conveniently ignore is that humans developed over a
period of 100,000 years the ability to digest and benefit from eating
meat, and that at current levels of knowledge brain chemistry is not
well understood.

In the first case it will take 100,000 years to de-evolve back to being
fruit eaters, but one suspects that the intervening 75,000 years of a
global ice-age might render the whole issue somewhat moot.

With the second issue, someone posted a link in this thread to an
excellent article which in part looked at the brain chemistry issue. In
essence, to maintain brain-chemistry balance, a vegan might need to take
40 different supplements a day.

There is no physical reason for humans to eat animal products other than they taste nice.

I suspect that is wishful thinking.
