I just fail to see how eating meat is an inherent “preference” while eating plants is “opportunistic”. Seems like a false dichotomy

Terribly reductive take. There’s a myriad of different edible plant species, variably digestible and non-digestible for different species. This article outlines how the reconstructed mouth microbiom of human ancestors as far back as 100’000 years ago was already capable of breaking down starchy foods. With the advent of fire, those would’ve been cooked just like meats and would’ve facilitated a growth in brain all the same, while being more reliable a food source.
