Because we have. The whole environmental narrative about what is "natural" is completely ahistoric.
Do you know what is truly "natural"? Well, just go out to a meadow and try to find anything edible there. Maybe a frog, maybe some grass, maybe some tiny fruits.
But this is how homo sapiens lived for the last 1.8 million years! This occasionally comes back in various "paleo" diets.
