They're not being told to want animal food. These people want/crave animal food because it's dense in nutrients. A meal with both plant and animal food is always going to be richer and gives a fuller belly compared to a meal that only has plants in it. Isn't it patronizing to suggest the poor crave it because they're told to crave it?
Human species evolved as meat eaters and if given the chance people will eat animal food. There are no vegan civilizations, only vegan individuals...
The people that only want to eat plants do so out of a deliberate choice, it's not their bodies telling them to do it.
