-- 'Cavemen used to only eat vegetables, and cave men were STOOPID! Stoopid vegans are stoopid like cavemen!" This topic certainly deserves over 100 responses.
Up next - in Ancient Greece, they used to drink water and stuff, WTF?!?! Didn't they have Sprite? What a bunch of dummies.
: 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, why would anyone decide to go back to the diet we had (plant life) back when we grunted at eachother and basically had the reasoning ability of a 3 year old
: (they actually drew that comparison, because a humans competitive instincts don't kick in until after 3 years of age, before that they have no ability to imagine how other people see them: the ability that gives birth to so many of our instincts)
: I used to have a great respect for non-meat eaters. Now I worry that they are working against human evolution, even trying (unwittingly) to set our species back.
: thoughts?
