Interesting conversation!
It is true that vegetarianism and especially veganism are impractical for the most part in the extreme north and extreme south of this planet.
Once when I lived in Minnesota, I was in a situation where I was shivering with cold and had frozen fingers which had a burning feeling. Two other men who were with me, discussed the issue and said this,
"You should drink liquor. That is the cure."
I feel they would have alerted about my vegetarian diet if they knew that I was a vegetarian.
Later in life while I was in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, there were instances where my children would be amused when I would take rest around 7pm but would do so with gloves, ski cap and other winter accessories. The reason for this was that I would be freezing at that time, because of eating early a vegetarian diet where the physical digestive system could not produced sufficient heat internally.
If I was on a flesh-eating diet that would not be the case. It is not a matter of belief. It is rather the way the physiology is designed. If you burn gasoline, it will provide so much heat as contrasted to if you burn a bottle of vodka.

The idea of going back to the woods is a fantasy only. This is because nature will not allow it. It is not what most fanatics think, that the modern situation is a human imposition on the planet.
No! That is not it!
Nature itself sponsors the movement of civilization. It is just that we think that the movers of civilization are apart from nature. Some of us feel that science is against nature. Actually science is an integral of nature. What scientists do is inspired by the very nature which we pretend is either innocent or removed from the digital age. Mankind is merely the tip of the spear which is itself nature.
Nature does not stop with inanimate objects. It continues with animate forms and it provides the motivations and inspirations which drive the scientist. Why then does nature use science to destroy and alter itself?
That is a good question!

Nature is a Force. It can turn on itself. The center of the earth is a boiling cauldron that fizzes up to pour over the surface of the earth through the volcanos. It is all play, and at "the tip of the spear", as you say, and will turn on itself and start over again.
