Meat made humans evolve into smarter creatures.


There's nothing in meat that meat has in itself has that made us smarter, it was the calories and fats it gave and the cooking that allowed us to have smaller stomachs and thereby have bigger brains. To say it was just meat that 'made us smarter' is false and irrelevant to nowadays. Nowadays, while not bieng in hunter-gatherer societies, one can get the appropriate nutriton and calories without killing animals.

Whats the matter with eating meat? Meat is good for you. Being frail and pale and weird skinned is unhealthy. Try to live in a balance and you wont have to worry about this kind of crap
however, I do believe that the vegitarian/vegan lifestyle is a choice, and a bad one at that. People are to eat meat and greens. Sometimes its ok to even eat eachother. Just not frequently.
I think humans are high in chlorestoral.

It's possible to get a high calorie diet w/o meat.  We're not hunter gatherers anymore.

You're appealing to something that was relevant at the dawn of man.


It's also possible to not have sex with another human being and have a perfectly healthy life.

By the way, here is the article that explains how meat helped us evolve.

You aren't even reading this thread because we've already covered that article.

Also, sex has little to nothing to do with your general health. Aside from maybe stress relief which is a positive, also incurring the risk of STD's which is an obvious negative.

One's diet has far more significance in general.

You be trollin'

You didn't even read this thread. You just dropped in and left a completely oblivious opinion to get your +1. That poorly designed stereotype falls short completely and even you probably know that.

Now I'm not opposed to eating animals. But if I can easily nourish myself without having to kill something, why not?

In the end however, I'm not vehemently opposed to it.
