: so I'm watching this show on discovery or science or whatever they are calling it these days, and they say that the reason we have evolved into competitive, smart, reasoning humans all came from early man deciding to begin eating meat.
: so, if meat eating is being creditied to the evolution of our minds
: thoughts?

We can now divide this arguement into two camps: vegetarians and those who hate them.
You know what I love about "discovery or science or whatever?" One can use the findings of "science or whatever" to prove just about any bullshit. The key is not to just ask the right questions, but pick and choose which of the answers you like the best. By selectively applying random answers from context-free "science," we can prove just about any opinion we wish. Thus, our species perpetuates the evolutionary cause of BULLSHIT!
