So your conclusion is that they are just wrong and must be under some sort of meat curse or something defies logic.
Tribal/native peoples ate meat to survive. if plants would have been the end all beat all, they certainly would not have wasted the energy on a hunt for the glamour.

There are long standing vegetarian traditions in Hindu and associated groups such as Jains and Buddhists, but they consume ample dairy, especially yogurt. There has also been a vegetarian following in the West as early as Pythagorus, but never really a doctrine or tradition until perhaps the Seventh Day Adventists incorporated veg diet into religious practice. Basically, veganism is not typical of the historical human diet, and a vegan diet doesn't provide a complete nutrient profile for humans, so vegan diets have only become practical in very recent times with the advent of global transport of food supplies and nutrient supplementation.
