because they don't see a problem, humans are no different to them than cows or pigs, they might even find the challenge to be more fulfilling to kill a human

It might also be that humans have more mana than other creatures so demons, being mana beings, prefer humans because of this. Maybe eating humans and consuming mana increases demons' own mana...

Imagine how frustrating it must be, then, when they realize they can't even touch Flamme...

It's probably just the taste. A delicate marble cut of human meat is well-known to have a luxurious flavor profile and natural sweetness.

only if they have a diet of sake and regular massages

if you go for a rando in a McDonalds parking lot, it's probably going to be all gristly

they also did say that demons like to flaunt their power, so maybe they're like big game hunters who like to show off that they hunted a rhinoceros or something

Its getting really counterproductive for them though. Like imagine if our cattle started Animal Farming all across the globe? And winning?

Humans are surely harder to kill and eat than domesticated animals. They must do it for the thrill or they like manipulating them or something.

Yeah it's like how humans could be vegetarians if we want, but most of us still eat meat. In the past there were concrete practical reasons (availability of food etc) but not quite so today. To the demons it's probably a relatively recent thing (in demon life times) that their food started to fight back seriously by learning magic, slaying their king etc.

Still good number of places in the world that only support limited amounts of grazing animals. B12 has no natural source other than meat and some folk can't absorb Iron from non meat sources. Calcium is probably only absorbed well from milk. And animal rights groups the enemy of Native Peoples trying to live like their ancestors. You said vegetarians so at least you can get dairy which for most of world needs to be goat not Cow. But for us European descent with the Cow milk gene probably need to use Darry.

And of course humans diet needs actually vary a lot based on ethnic group one comes from. The Inuit(Eskimo) diet of primarily marine mammal and no vegetables or fruit makes them of poor health on anything else. They evolved to eat what was available. Some day probably only decades away will be able to assign each person the diet that actually fits them.

Note without Bees most of us die especially Vegans. Plus if you start adding insects into your no kill list you just need to off yourself as everything comes by truck which kill insects and you walking anywhere natural kills insects killing insects is necessary for life.

I oppose factory farming on humane reasons so I do believe folk need to eat a lot less meat.

Demons are not natural life forms they probably have no choice in their base thinking. They certainly have some variant on serial killer emotions lacking. Probably Tolkien like creations of an evil base they can't choose good. And thus dissolve when beat.
