People are so removed from the source of their food, that they are mentally blind to what they are eating. If you have ever told someone, that sure is some tasty looking muscle tissue you are eating, you have probably seen a look of disgust show up on their face. Prehistoric man had to subsist on the diet that was available. Primarily, this was a combination of root vegetables and fruits, with the occasional animal that could be tired out and killed. Driven by the desire for fatty tasting, high calorie/low investment meals, food distribution lead to the pan-global spread of humanity. As certain climates/terrain support larger animals or denser vegetation, you have a spread of different dietary preferences develop. As northern regions are typically colder/harsher, the types of fauna present tend to be larger, more durable. If you look at which peoples across the globe have the most aggressive drive for conquest historically, you see it is those who live in these harsh climates. Once you conquer a land and its people, the next step is to bring your culture there. Thus, we find that westerners, descendants of northerners primarily, are focused on meat and imposing wills on the world.
