Humans Were Never Supposed to Have Been Eating Meat.

HongKongPhooey · 2022-07-30T06:26:45+00:00

The canine teeth we have suggest we have eaten meat a long time. In fact, chimpanzees and humans have identical dental structures, so I would suspect you are incorrect, and humans have always eaten meat. I doubt we were ever carnivores however, but always omnivores

This is just because you personally have lead a sheltered life.

Humans used to not get sick over the sight of carcasses. In most countries most people don’t get sick. It’s just that if you live in cities or suburbs your whole life, don’t work in butcher shops and never go hunting, you will get sick at the sight of a carcass.

Besides, meat is delicious.

You seem to have forgotten that omnivores exist.

ID10T · 2022-07-30T10:27:46+00:00

You have never experienced true hunger. You would easily rip an animal apart and greedily eat it's bloody guts if you were starving. Go home PETA, you're drunk.

Dehydration. Salt. Smoking. Freezing.

There is a box of dry meat in our pantry that is several months old. Still very good.

The best things about vegans and vegetarians, is that they are the first to die when society collapses or famine comes.

If you've ever worked in a slaughterhouse or butcher, you'd know how appealing fresh meat can smell. Carving a large piece of beef rump is mouthwatering. I often cook my beef, duck, tuna and lamb rare to get the best flavour.

Those who farm, hunt, work in the food industry are less shy of dead animals. In the modern age there are many who don't know where their food comes from, some even think potato grows on trees. Many have never carved up a chicken even.

Humans and our ancestors have adapted and formed habits over hundreds of thousands of years to survive on many foods. Let us be grateful that we did begin eating meat as it's thought to have been the trigger in our development of tools and larger brains. I find it more remarkable that we ever began eating mushrooms.

It's also worth noting that humans have modified dozens of fruit and veg to our liking through selective breeding. Bananas were not naturally sweet, strawberry were wild strawberry, apples were small and bitter, tomatoes were not of a million shapes and sizes and flavours. Humans have grown these larger, sweeter, and more nutritious and tasty than were found in nature.

We can digest it. If we weren’t meant to it should be as indigestible as rock.

Alienhunter · 2022-07-30T09:55:37+00:00

Clearly you've never sampled some of the more "exotic" non-western cuisines.

A revulsion to death is a normal survival mechanism. You see a dead animal you need to be aware of the threat that killed it can kill you. Same with old disgusting carcasses that are rotting. You won't want to get sick from disease.

A number of animals are super tasty even if you don't cook them. Horse. Chicken. Almost all kinds of fish. Hell even whale tastes great raw.

Cooking meat is just safer hygienically and usually makes things taste better. Horse is great raw but even better when you cook it a bit. And there's nothing more salivating than an almost raw super rare steak.

Questionable · 2022-07-30T18:24:34+00:00

Amazing. You have simply said something and claimed it to be facts. You should start a cult.

ShekelPa · 2022-07-30T21:32:22+00:00

And yet we possess digestive enzymes capable of digesting meat with no problem.

ShekelPa · 2022-07-30T21:36:04+00:00

I will continue to eat meat because nothing sticks it to vegans more than eating red meat.

swordofdamocles42 · 2022-07-31T07:51:44+00:00

i was vegan for 6 years, it fucks you up. we need meat. you probably think i work for big meat..... i used to think like that. it messes your mind up as well as your body.

what gets me is that the vegan lies are too well crafted. military grade. they put a lot of thought into the propaganda.

but the most obvious lies are that we don't have the correct colons for meat, and that meat poisons us and that milk is poison. these are easily disproven.

there is a whole book called the protein myth, it convinces you you don't even need protein. but its essential to human body function. steak is the best food for a reason. veganism is an eating disorder... many can never break out of it. please just try some fish or eggs, you can feel the IMMEDIATE benefit.

please i emplore you to look past your squeamishness. things die its fine.

Sensitivead · 2022-07-30T11:17:29+00:00

Bro if we weren't supposed to be eating meat then why does Chicken and pork taste good and vegetables taste like garbage

TarBaby · 2022-07-30T12:14:24+00:00

Give it up Trane, nobody here wants to be a Vegan. We trained wolves with meat to breed them into dogs to serve us.

sproketboy · 2022-07-30T13:12:25+00:00

I'm so looking forward to the mad max times when I'll be able to eat vegans like raven9. /s

at_finn · 2022-07-30T13:50:46+00:00

Good thing we started eating meat, or we would end up like the Orangutans who are now facing extinction because their habitat is disappearing. Humans on the other hand, were able to populate the whole world.

blah-blah-blah-blah · 2022-07-30T19:01:44+00:00

Risible.

Archeology tells us that the most primitive hominins were hunters, and that as our techniques for gathering food and preparing it improved, we evolved as well.

Raw meat is rather tough to eat as it is, so we developed a method to predigest it using simple tools; Mechanical tenderization. In other words, our predecessors pounded it between rocks to break up the tough connective tissues. After long ages of preparing our prey in this manner, it also taught us how to make fire. Sparks struck off of the stones would ignite nearby dry grass, causing the hominins of the time to flee briefly until the fires burnt out. Upon returning, the found the meat they had left behind was cooked on the flat preparing rock, and far more attractive in flavor and edibility. Eating meat gained us the ability to make fire, and cooked meat gained us easier to eat, parasite-free, more delicious food. Fire is what gave us safety from predators, the ability to thrive in a broader range of environments, and eventually gave us civilization.

Meat was the foundation of our evolution and development into civilized, intelligent, self aware beings.

So, you're wrong.

Humans aren't carnivores, we're omnivores.

SeethingPeasant · 2022-07-31T23:35:17+00:00

We have always been omnivores. And we didn't always know when fruits or veggies were safe. Someone tried it, lived or died, then told everyone else. I thought this was common knowledge but now schools are focused on dumbing kids down and propogandizing kids so they are easier to manipulate and control. Dumb people make stupid decisions based on emotions which are almost always bad decisions. If you can't look at the facts because it hurts the feelz, then there will never be any real solutions. Like defund the police. People were told cops are racist and killing black people a lot. So the simple school of thought is Cops bad - > No cops is good = utopia. What actually happened is crime skyrocketed because the da's won't charge people, so no consequences for crime so way more crime, cops give up cause tired of risking lives for literally no reason and now it's open season on innocent people. So they have no choice but to protect themselves.... Oh wait, the same people who got rid of the cops also made super strict gun laws so no one can have a firearm or protect themselves.... Except the criminals, they have all the guns and its like fish in a barrel, everyone is game, so even more crime and victims. So at that point you would think people would go "hmm, maybe something else is going on here, let's look at the stats, only 9 unarmed black people killed by police is 2019?!?! 7 were justified?!?! What have we done!?! Black people make up 13% of the US population yet to 50% of violent crime?!?! Oh.... Maybe it's not a race thing, maybe it's more complicated than they allowed me to think".... But instead we got "WE NEED TO BAN MORE GUNS!! WE NEED TO LIMIT LEGAL AND LAWABIDING CITIZENS ACCESS TO GUNS EVEN MORE!! THAT WILL FIX THIS!!"..... Good grief. Gun control doesn't work, it just creates more victims and more crime. All the high crime cities in America also have strict gun control. It just doesn't work, it only limits good people who don't break the law, it does nothing to stop crime. And if you think it will end mass shootings, you are dumb. The FBI failed to deny background checks for most of the mass shooters, they had mental illness on their records which is an instant fail yet somehow the FBI just let it go. Most mass shooters use handguns anyway, just like most criminals. If people wanted to be smart, they would look at those stats as well. On average, 38k gun deaths a year, 65% suicides, 0.18% mass shootings and the rest are homicides so like 15k, 2500 of those are domestic violence, the rest is gang related with illegal firearms and the mass shooters usually are on a psychotropic antidepressant. There are more than twice as many fatal car accidents than gun murders in America. And most of those murders come from cities with strict gun control. Drugs, alcohol, suicides, obesity, the crazy high amount of people on anti depressants, we have a serious need for mental health help in this country. The CDC did a study of defensive uses of firearms every year ( I. E. Lives saved with guns by citizens) and found that there were up to 2.4 MILLION defensive uses of a firearm in a year, 80% didn't even have to shoot.

I apologize for ranting, and I am not trying to call anyone dumb here, and this isnt directed at the OP either. I'm just so sick and tired of being lied to, gaslit, used and abused, and manipulated for corrupt politicians agenda for power and money. When are we all going to wake up and realized we are being played against each other so the people power can laugh at us while taking away our freedom and opportunity? If we worked together we could actually get real change. Maybe one day, hopefully sokn because we are quickly getting to "too late".

iDontShift · 2022-07-30T13:13:41+00:00

the big flood. theory i've come to accept is atlantis was, it went under.. and the survivors... began to eat whatever they could to survive

yabbit · 2022-07-30T14:38:04+00:00

true. vegetarianism is better for your health and the environment

In-the-clouds · 2022-07-30T18:55:06+00:00

It is an interesting question you raise, raven9, especially: how did man first begin eating meat? In the beginning, man only ate the fruit of trees, and the grains of the field, and drank milk from animals. (Milk has a protein profile similar to meat.) The first man did not eat meat. But it didn't take long for him to change his diet, since even in the first book of the Bible (Genesis chapter 27) we read that man ate goat meat and venison.

The sight of bread is appealing to me. I love bread. And yet bread is no where in the wild. It is something that requires cooking to make. Again, we could ask, how did man first begin eating bread? And how did the idea even occur to him to transform seeds into bread?

I do lots of things on the fly.
