Most primates (in the wild) live off a diet of primarily plants and some insects. Very few (I can't think of any) live on a diet of raw meat. So you statement about humans in the wild makes no sense.

Meat must be cooked to prolong optimal health in humans. Primates (in the wild) DO NOT COOK their food. Only a plant-based diet can be consumed uncooked and stil promote optimal health. Since uncooked foods are more natural than cooked foods, a plant-based must therefore be a more "natural" choice than meat-eating.

What is Italian eating like?

"Necessary" is relative to the one's desired goals at living.

My reasons for not eating meat:
1. Meat and animal product-consumption is not necessary for optimal health.
2. Meat and animal product-consumption has more adverse effects than eating only plants. Negatives of plant consumption generally revolves around a nutrient deficiency which is only the result of not eating an adequate variety of foods while the negatives surounding meat consumption not only include nutrient deficiency but also cause an influx of free radicals, toxins and substances that do not easily pass through the digestive tract.

"Activism is the practice of using an internal, self-determining source of power to live one's life and/or enact some sort of change. Power is the ability to define reality, while self-determination is to decide or define one's self. Therefore activism, is not simply something done to right some wrong or to fight some cause but rather it is a way of life. Activism is the way of life where one can define self and change anything that may impede or control the reality that one chooses to live."-Solarus
