Comments on: Humans did not always eat meat. http://www.youeatityouwearit.com/diet-types/vegan/humans-did-not-always-eat-meat Ex-obese shares his experience on how he lost his overweight Thu, 09 Oct 2008 20:13:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Gunshooter http://www.youeatityouwearit.com/diet-types/vegan/humans-did-not-always-eat-meat/comment-page-1#comment-42 Gunshooter Thu, 09 Oct 2008 20:13:41 +0000 http://www.youeatityouwearit.com/?p=27#comment-42 Ah, so we see the grand paradox here. This article postulates that humans were vegetarians before they ate meat and that it was the eating of meat that prompted us to invent fire, and all the preperations, cunning and planning needed to hunt the animals. Thus it is apparently our meateating habits that we have at least partially to thank for all of technology and progress. So, why go back? To be ethical and moral? pah! If you refuse to eat meat because you believe that we are really essentially no better than animals, than you must understand that many animals too kill and eat meat. To undermine our rightful and well earned place at the top of the food chain is downright ludicrous. Ah, so we see the grand paradox here.

Grains are completely indigestible in the wild. Don't believe me? Try eating a whole grain on it's own. It will come out the other end in exactly the same form. It was not until the Neolithic times that we were able to crush the grains and digest them. I respect that you are a vegan in every way. I have many vegan friends. But the evidence shows that we are designed to eat meat and that we have not adapted to eat the amount of carbohydrates many vegans inadvertently end up eating. I'm all for treating animals well and admire people who give up meat for their benefit, but let's be realistic with the facts.

The reason we have developed superior brains was for hunting other animals. We do not have the digestive tract that a herbivore gorilla has. Our digestive tract is closer to that of a dog. Obesity is caused directly from the over consumption of foods we did not consume for 99% of our entire existence--carbohydrates. The only exception is the small amount of fruit we ate during seasons that permitted it and the very infrequent finding of honey. Eating fruit in summer months helped us put on fat for the upcoming winter. Do you know what advanced glycation end-products are? Do you know what carnosine is and does, and do you know where it comes from? We are natural meat eaters in every way. It may not seem ethical, but it is what it is. This simply is not true.
