I had to sit through another work-assigned-woke session, this past Friday, about the benifits of eating plants over meat.
Honestly, that sounds like someone eating vegan, not animal proteins and fats.
Spider are still able to take down larger prey than human children...I'm sticking with spiders
To be honest this whole Vegan thing is silly, If we were meant to be herbivores, wouldn't we have four stomach like cows to exclusively process greens?
It's more of a moral thing for people. Animal cruelty etc I believe.
Fruit, tubers, legumes etc don't require the kinds of digestive intensity that grass does.
The question still stands, Why do we have carnivore stomachs instead of herbivore ones if we were meant to eat greens exclusively? and what about the teeth? are our incisors by mistake too?
And the molars can only be for grinding spiders into an easily digestible paste. I mean obvious the only other non animal foods are grass and eating grass is for cows and we should rather eat cows (beta) or spiders (alpha)
We weren't meant to sit in chairs all day yet we do; we do things that don't really align with our evolutionary predispositions. So even if I agree with you that our predisposition is toward being carnivores, I'm also totally fine with people deciding to go against that grain for reasons of their choosing. For some people their ethical reasons for not eating meat outweighs what evolution says they 'should' be eating.
I simple said being vegan is silly because we are designed to eat meat and vegies because are our bodies are designed for it and used an example of four stomachs as a herbivore design but you have now made the argument about eating grass.
spider and cows are protein, doesn't matter what you decide to call it.
We have omnivore digestive systems.
WTF? we were meant to sit full stop, A chair is just something that facilitates it and sitting in it all day is you choice. Its different from stopping eating meat and say its natural, its also your choice but doesn't mean were weren't designed to eat meat.
exactly, meat and veg.....Not just veg.
That's not what he said. Read it again, this time with comprehension.
You can obviously eat and digest both. But we humans have the ability to make a choice in being cruel or not. I for one, decided I will not be cruel. I do not eat meat and I do not consume/use any animal products. I haven't done so in over 10 years. I have no health problems so clearly there's no problem with having a plant-based diet.
An animal had to die for you to eat it. Animals don't want to die and that's a fact. They feel pain and fear just like you and I.
