Why do you believe human beings started eating meat?!


Question: Why do you believe human beings started eating meat!?
If you think that humans are not meant to eat meat, then why would we start as a species!. This can also apply to those who believe humans should not consume (other animal's) milk, eggs, and honey!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Perhaps they needed to before a civilised society, when food was scarce and farming was primitive!. Things are rather different now though, no need to exploit animals what-so-ever!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Humans probably started eating meat because it is fat and protein dense!. As a hunting-gathering society, we were attracted to energy-dense food!. Because of the feast or famine nature of our life, we had to get as many calories and fat in us as we could, when we could!. Meat was a great way to do that!. In a harsh environment, where daily survival required lots of energy (calories), it was more efficient and fruitful to spend them catching and killing animals (which yielded a lot of energy) than searching for edible plants (which had a lower yield)!.

That's just my guess!.

Do you also believe that humans were meant to kill, rape, and steal from each other!? I certainly don't believe that any of those is morally equivalent to eating meat, but I don't believe that humans are "meant" to do things just because they do!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

What the hell is going on here!.!.!. there's a bit of a debate going on between ur12ok and some dr tim, but all I can say is that dr is wrong!.

I have seen numerous debates on this subject and the meats always lose!.

ur12ok has come up with numerous helpful points and meat eater dr!. knows that!.

also, someone mentioned the bible, well in genesis is says that fruit is our food!.!.I'm not sure the verse but it's there somewhere!.

I personally feel better when I clean myself out with fruit, it's only my addiction to cooked food that's stops me eating it 24/7!.

But, I know that when I feel like **** I go fruit!. Cleans me, and fixes me straight away!.

Edit!. Celtic

if you do your research we are not actually omnivores, the human species shouldn't even be eating meat, as we are herbivores!. we have all the features of a herbivore and none of a omninivore (an omnivore will have the same features of a carnivore) and from your knowledge of this topic it seems you havn't little to zero accurate information!. also you write as if you are a child!.

aslo you do not need to eat meat to get protein as the is the wrong and unnatural way to get it!. the right way to get it is through fruit and vegetables!. ask a gorilla where it gets it protein from!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Welllll we did it out of surivial!. After the fall (God banished adam and eve) then we did it cuz there wasn't enough fruits and stuff!. But in the bible it says that God told them he gave them seed and fruit, and that shall be their food!. So we were meant to eat meat (according to the bible anyway), we were meant to eat a natural diet!. God also condems those who eat the flesh of the slain beast!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Dont start the whole vegetarian thing humans and millions of other species (omnivores and carnivores alike) have eaten meat of other species for thousands of years, its not going to change now because some people think they should feel sorry for the animals but in reality they're being just as and naive as the animals!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because it's the greatest invention ever! Meat is what we started with, and it's pompous to turn down food in our country, especially if two thirds of countries are starving!. You are going to turn down food when you have no other option!? I bet a lot of people will reconsider vegetarianism if they are starving!. Go tell Africa you are a vegetarian, they will understand!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

what vegan fanatics are doing is not natural, believe it or not!. They have formed in their mind that it's okay And i quote

Vlasak compared the life of lab animals to African American slaves and the Jewish victims of Nazi concentration camps!.

He made his comments while defending a similar statement, made to the news media last year: "I don't think you'd have to kill – assassinate – too many vivisectors before you would see a marked decrease in the amount of vivisection going on!. And I think for five lives, 10 lives, 15 human lives, we could save a million, 2 million, 10 million non-human lives!."

Show me a bear that would kill another bear, to save the life of a million bunnies!.

We eat meat cause we are omnivores just like the bears!. We eat what is avaliable to us for survival!. Nowadays we have too much food!. Veganism/!.raw veganism as a diet just says to eat more fruit, veggies, nuts etc, which isn't bad at all!. On the contrary, we should!. But their belief is what is annoying!.

Willing to kill 15 people to save an animals life is not natural!. No other species on this planet would prefer another species over their own!.


We are omnivores, and the reason fatty food is delicious to us is cause meat wasn't easy to find, so once found, nature gave us the 'command' to eat as much as possible!. That is natural!. But since meat is so easily found today, we do need to tip a little on the vegeterian side cause too much meat will harm us, just like the lack of it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

@ur12ok

I have nothing against vegans or vegetarians, it is your choice to eat what you like best!.

but your bullet points are just moronic and probably do more harm than good to your fellow vegans and veg's!.


stalk their food - we used to do that, it's not really necessary anymore, some people still do though, they're called hunters, so by your criteria, hunters are true carnivores!? that's a bit much

catch their food - again, we used to do that, we haven't had guns for eternity, it's not like 1 day we all of a sudden invented guns and spears and suddenly realized that animals tasted good!.

kill their food - once again, hunters do this, but are humans in general really at fault because we are smart enough to set up systems to make things easier and more effecient!? is it my fault that i can choose to buy a bag of frozen peas and spend a little extra because it is more convenient than growing my own!?

is it also our fault that we have hospitals!?
roads!?
is any form of structure that makes our lives easier against the vegan "code" you seem to be referring to!?
why are you using a computer!? a natural vegetarian would not use a computer that runs on electricity, that's bad for the environment, you know!.
Do you live in a house!? that's bad for the environment as well, a true vegan would only survive on what is necessary for them to!? a true vegan would live in the outdoors away from society and culture!.

you are nothing but a farce of a vegan!.

eh hem, getting back to tearing down the rest of your stupid points!.

lick up it's blood - actually, we still do that, blood is still in a lot of meat that we eat and before fire that's how it was done!.

and then!.!.!.!. EAT THEIR FOOD RAW - going back to my "it's our fault we're smart" point, is it our fault we are smart enough to create fire!? no, and like i said, before fire we did!. there are also people in todays world that eat raw meat, Inuits for example!.

if you're going to try and represent the vegan side of things at least do it somewhat intelligently!.

edit - I had a friend who got in an accident and was paralyzed from the waste down, doctors said he would never walk again, within 6 months he was walking, he ate chicken, and cheeseburgers the whole time, so does that mean the chicken and cheeseburgers cured him!? of course not, it means doctors are not gods, they are not omniscient and for you to expect that and base your beliefs upon what a doctor says is absolutely ignorant of you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

ur!.!.!. moronic!.

Are omega wolves not carnivores, because they never hunt or kill, their job is to look after the pups!.

I eat raw meat, sashimi and carpaccio!. Very nice!.

As a species we do all of those things!.

I think we did it because, well, we're omnivores!.

We eat it, good source of protein, fat etc!.!.

ur , you really have no reason to say 'it's unnatural so wrong' unless you're living in a tree eating vegetables!.

Houses are unnatural!. Roads, hair dye, clothes, teaspoons and ohh, look, that monkey has a mac!.

I don't see many computers in the wild!.

Just because most animals do it, doesn't mean we should too!.

If we did, i'd fling a whole lot of poop at you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Human beings have always been eating meat, what I mean is that when our ancestors that wernt human left the trees they scavanged for what they could find, eventually they started to hunt, when we finally becasme what you call human we were already eating meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It says in the Bible that God killed animals and made fur clothes for Adam and Eve after they ate from the tree of knowledge!. Up until then we ate just fruits and vegetables!. When we get to heaven, we will probably go back to that practice!. It's a good thing if you like lots of fruits and veggies!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

As soon as man became hungry!. Whether he consumed a carcass on the ground or captured an animal himself!. Survival was the key!.

ur12ok is hilarious!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

good question !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. im not sure
but dont eat meat Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hi Guys, I'm a vegan and I need to inform you that all carnivores/omnivores

stalk their food,

catch their food,

kill their food,

lick up it's blood,

and then!.!.!.!. EAT THEIR FOOD RAW!.

Now, can you tell me that this is what you do!? Because if you can't, then you are not a genuine carni/omni or whatever it is you call yourselves!.

Give me your thumbs down I couldn't give a ****


Edit

thanks little dr timmy!. my point and I know that it is going to be hard for you to understand but, is that humans do not have a craving for raw meat!. If it was in our genetic make up then prople would not turn away from videos of animals being killed!. As it is, people cannot watch, let alone do such a barbaric act!. !.

also, as a natural healer, I have seen numerous people that were told by their doctors that they were incurable!. On a raw vegan diet within weeks they were cured!. I have the proof dr!. anytime you want to learn something, give me a call!.

Edit!.Dr timmy

Your friend didn't start walking because he ate chicken, but one client after 20 years of being diabetic became normal, and also lost 10 kgs (that's 22lbs for you), plus his doctor took him off his heart meds!.

By the way, your argument stinks like the meat you eat!.

EdIt

Celtic wolf!.!.!.you eat raw meat and fling poop!. You sound like a carnivore and probably look like one!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
