Actually, most people could barely afford any meat at all until fairly recently. Meat was more of a weekly thing before the 1950s.

I should have clarified that i was talking about pre civilization. We had to pay a certain price for civilization .

That is right. Before the invention of agriculture the people ate meat and what fruits, berries and mushrooms they found. So mostly meat-based. They lived healthier (life expectancy was going down with agriculture at first), worked less and had no interest in owning patches of land and therefore were less fighting and war. The only upside to the invention of agriculture was, that it could support more people. So the agricultural societies outcompeted the former hunting-societies over time.
