I think the only country who kept a part of how we lived 8000 years ago is India. Though a lot of it have been corrupted and it is why I think they have so much problems today. The caste system has been corrupted completly and most of them dont understand how that system was working.
In india for example eating meat is considered to be a lower thing. Ghandi for example refused that his child eat an eggs even if that eggs could saved his life. Extreme but it shows what kind of beliefs they have.Ghandi was extreme in approach. So most religious people there don't eat meat.
If you study india diet you will notice they have one of the most varied diet, with tons of spice.
I have been eating meat all my life but when I see their culture and the knowlegde there is in their books its quiet mind blowing. Though most indian are ignorant about how they really lived back then. So in that context india are not different than other country. Most indian follow what they have been tauch even it is completly corrupted and doesnt make any sense anymore.
No large civilization has existed mainly eating veggies. None. 99% of earths civilizations in history ate meat. In Egypt, Mesoamerica, Mesopatamia and China they ate meat. As for the Karma thing you have to understand that science has proven plants have emotions and when one tree is chopped down in the forest the others start responding with chemichal messagages designed to reach the other plants.
Main reason why meat gives us disease today is because of the excess processing of the food and feeding of hormones to the cattle.
Another thing is, virtually all the longest livers in the world have eaten meat regularly.
Actually you're incorrect. Most human civilizations ate primarily non meat sources but ate meat randomly as well. But they survived mostly through veggies, fruit, nuts, fish NOT meat.. Only civilizations that lived in conditions that didn't support allot of vegetation ate primarily meat.

"By analysing the carbon atoms in mummies that had lived in Egypt between 3500 BC and 600 AD, the French research team were able to determine that ancient Egyptians were largely vegetarian."

"Based on the ratios of isotopes, Touzeau et al. 2014 argue that the middle class Egyptians subsisted primarily on a ovo-lacto vegetarian diet: this means that they ate primarily plants, fruits, vegetables, as well as animal byproduct such as milk and cheese. Meat consumption made around 20% of their diet, although in some it was as high as 50%. However, in contrast with modern omnivores (i.e. us!) where are diet is 64% meat, they are more heavily vegetarian even at their highest percentage."
