1. Human biology hasn't changed in the last 100 years. So the human food of the future is the same as the human food of the past: a balanced diet made up of animal products and plants. The vegan diet isn't "the future", it's a temporary fad. 2. The laws of ecology haven't changed in the last 100 years either: a healthy ecosystem needs animals, not just plants. Same as it did before veganism became a fad. So you can't regenerate soil by planting a monoculture of beans. That's how soils were depleted, in the first place. Modern chemicals accelerate that depletion, true. But monocultures depleted soils long before modern chemicals were introduced. A return to organic monoculture will merely slow the destruction, it won't reverse it. To regenerate soil, you must build a healthy ecosystem, with large ruminant animals on it. AND those ruminants need predators, too. Obviously, we can't have predators which can take down a cow, running around on agricultural land. Luckily, humans are predators too. So humans can be the predators. In conclusion: humans acting as the omnivores they naturally are is beneficial, and necessary, for our own health, for the health of our agricultural soils, and for the future of Earth as a whole (because soil regeneration sequesters carbon, and will reverse climate change).
