interesting read about herbi and carni truth is we're omni. we're built to eat both meat and veg. our claws are our fingernails.
we can digest meat, we do digest meat. most if not all nutritionist tell us us to eat food from all types. protein in the form of meat is one of the easiest to generate. i see no scientific source where the guy gets his info from, in fact he states it's unknown. he also says we're not animals in the wild. in that statement he's misguided. he uses what we call modern life as a meme for a non wild life. if fact it's as wild as when cavemen hunted mammoth, it just evolved somewhat. we still live in a survival of the fittest world where we have to defend ourselves from predators etc. (often from within our own species) to say we don't live in the wild as animals takes us out of the animal kingdom per say and that doesn't hold water. the reason we kill and eat animlas stems from our history. a who mammoth would last a tribe a season. a good whale season lasts eskimos a few months. it's less efficient to hunt seed and berries over huge distances than it is to have a cow in the cupboard. having the meat stored is what gave us the ability to forage and farm and a wider scale. without the ability to eat meat we'd have less seed to plant and less energy to farm. now we can farm. some of us still enjoy the taste of meat. something thats been with our species for thousands of years. at our basest we are animals. at our best we're still animals the only difference is the social conscience. it's what helps create laws on how to treat animals. that some break those laws is just us being what we are at our base. despite what the blog says, we are indeed built to eat meat and veg. our who body make up is one of a major predator.
