Should we stop eating chicken, fish, and other small animals, in favour of bigger ones like cow? That would reduce farm animal suffering by more than 80%

What about the meat alternative insects? Are they conscious? If so there are people investing millions. to kill gazillion lives a year

Or are they definitely "inferior"?

Do we even know what suffering and consciousness is?

Why did nature evolved for animals to eat each other?

We should stop eating all animals.

Because evolution “cares” only about gene propagation. The nourishment obtained from eating animals allows that.

Animals are inherently different than Humans when it comes to food choices. They do not have a choice, we do and yet, being an 'intelligent' animal does not equal to being 'wise'. Humans will kill and eat anything and everything that their senses like and that only happens when you trade sense pleasure for intelligence.
