    I hope you're not using the China Study as the basis for your thinking, because that study was terribly done and the conclusions wee dicey at best.

    : You're misinformed about human meat consumption, I'm afraid. There is simply no debate in the anthropological community that we're omnivores.

    As for hunting, well, you're wired to do it; you're descended from a couple million years worth of hunters, you'd love it if you tried it, trust me, and it's no more wrong for us to hunt and eat meat than it is for gorillas to eat leaves. We evolved eating the stuff, and it's a large part of the optimal human diet.

    Gorilla have the same problems as humans, we are adjusting their diets, but who's adjusting ours??? The problem is anyway in the food (chemicals, genetically modified, and so on)...

    Our species has so much genetic variability and biological diversity there is some truth to that. But there is also truth to what can be optimal. I do believe there are optimal human diets consisting of basic, whole foods.

    I know the answer, I stated it in general terms, because that's the best anyone can say. Life is dynamic. And it will be variable per person at different times of their life. We are omnivores, biologically speaking. Tools, fire, and cooking are fundamentals in human biological and cultural evolutional development, going back hundreds of thousands of years, at least.

    Wild game is probably the only meat safe to eat at this point. Hope that's all you eat. Most meat (besides the growth hormone, antibiotic inoculations and being hoarded in their mananure) is now being finished off with unnatural corn, even grass fed beef (label has to say 100% grass fed) or in the case of chicken, arsenic. It's criminal what's being done to our food.

    From a way way back as you say, man ate animal flesh because they seen some animals

    eat other animals, soon they found they could eat vegetation, but since the animal flesh

    didn't taste too bad they kep on eating without conscience. In the era of the twenty-first

    century, especially, more and more highly intelligent humans are eating vegetation rather

    than hurting the animal and becoming more and more healthier.I am vegetarian fifteen years ago.I am 77 yrs, never been sick since.Iove animals
