It’s not impossible. For the majority of humans, the flesh of non-humans, especially mammals, is more flavoring than meal.
The Japanese, for example, only took up eating beef and pork in the 1800s as part of the desire to “magically” emulate Europeans, and as late as the 1970s, Japanese exchange students were still being nauseated by the steaks, chops, and roasts common on middle-class US tables (my source: a cookbook by the nisei Hirasuna sisters)
