    I was just wondering if you were vegan for diet reasons or personal beliefs. Got my answer! Lol.

    I asked about that meat because it’s quite a difference from the standard.

    The Human brain didn't have the nutrients to develop to what it is today without cooking meat. Maybe harnessing fire was the real downfall. Without meat we wouldn't have time to do anything other than forage for the next meal.

    That’s a weird contradiction... because most animals in nature that eat meat, live meal to meal in hunting groups... all about a meal

    I will say this, One has to be careful when studying Philosophy regarding things of this nature... those who win the wars write the history... history is written to conform the multitude into one belief ...

    With companies like Cargil (the largest private company in the US) , does one honestly think positive evolution info would be put out on a large scale that doesn’t promote their business?

    The truth is on and in our body. If we were designed to eat meat from day one, we would have “evolved” to the point of being able to walk up to a cow and rip it open with our bare hands and teeth.

    Most meat eaters in nature can kill and eat raw meat with their teeth, jaws, and claws. And thousands of years later humans still can not.

    This is just my opinion, I don’t judge others for it no more like I used to. I understand growing up here in the states that my opinion sounds very contradicting

    You're missing the fact that humans are tool users of the highest order and have been since the earliest point in our evolutionary history. From stone tools and on, tools instead of biological instruments have been our main difference between the other animals. As a matter of fact, we have learned to evolve the world for us instead of having to physically/biologically evolve to match our world. A knife instead of a claw. An arrow instead of having to chase our prey...agriculture....animal husbandry...and on up from there.

    Let’s go back to 1930 style farming. Forget the millions of acres lost due to urban sprawl and crop land turned into yards.
    Instead of 200 plus bushel of corn per acre we will get 70 bushels.
    25 bushel soybeans.
    And the slow growing cows, hogs, chickens and no turkeys as we know them.
    We all starve.

    Today I’m able to buy boneless chicken breast that weighs 2.25 pounds. That’s 4 servings per breast. In 1930 a whole chicken breast wasn’t diddly.

    We are omnivores and don't specialize in one or the other. Maybe now that technology is improved someone can hunt veggies for us so we can sustain ourselves but we wouldn't be her now without eating meat.

    Your still talking corn and soy. The same downfall we have today they had back then. Trying to feed all the livestock! Just grow real food - cabbage, strawberry, cucumber, zucchini, peppers, onion, etc

    How short minded we are. People have been growing real food for THOUSANDS of years on earth. And here we are comparing ourselves to the thirties when people had a thirst for beef and started this madness in the first place.

    That’s why meat still rots in a humans long digestive track giving them COLON cancer, because “humans made their environment elvove for them” ... nice try... we’re not built to thrive on meat, only tolerate it... barely

    Real meat eaters have short digestive tracks, in and out... our long digestive track is designed to process fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes and etc
