That might be one of the worst written articles I have ever read. This author should be a candidate for biggest douche in the universe.
Human beings are neither herbivores or carnivores. We are omnivores as evidenced by not only our teeth but mainly the length of our digestive tract which sits in the middle ground between pure plant eaters and pure meat eaters. Look at the intestines of horses and cows versus ours (they are twice as long to allow the slow digestion of plants) and then look at the intestines of large cats (theirs are half the size of ours as to not allow all the meat to putrefy in the gut).
Why the author nor the PCRM does not seem to understand this (or choose to not acknowledge it) is beyond me.
If you want to argue for the benefits of diets with large amounts of plant based foods or argue over the ethical challenges that some people feel about eating meat (don’t include me in that crap) than do just that.
Don’t come up with some bullshit make believe concepts of human anatomy or phony evolutionary development of the human brain.
Sad stuff and a real embarrassment to the Huffington Post for allowing this to go up. Too bad the average person will read this and think it makes sense.
Early man made the most of the foods his environment made available to him. In some parts of the world and and certain times in history that meant more meat and during other times that meant less. It has less than dick to do with agriculture or else we would see Eskimos growing massive amounts of grains to support their largely protein based diets.
I write shit everyday that struggles to get read and yet pre cum like this gets published on a major site. Really pisses me off on a personal level.
