This species has been eating meat for so fucking long, that even if we somehow weren’t meant to be omnivores when we split off into the homoerectus line, that’s certainly what ended up being so.
It’s not that men were made to eat meat,
it’s that those who couldn’t died out.
Thanks for your opinion. I notice that you didn’t dispute a single thing I said and, instead, went for the personal attack. Thanks! :3
Actually, it was the other way round. The Neanderthals died out because they lived a mainly carnivorous life. The Cro Magnon people (our ancestors) started to settle near Neanderthal territories, so meat became rare and harder to get during the everlasting winters of the Ice Age. Many of the Neanderthal tribes died of starvation, because they were not able to substitute their normal diet with food from plants, even during the warm periods. The Cro Magnon people, on the other hand, foraged for fruits and vegetables and corn, they were the first to bake bread and invent farming.
Also, even modern day scientific studies have discovered that meat is more difficult to digest for the human body than fruit and vegetable. Also, long-term diets made up mainly of components from dead animals have been proven to have a negative effect on a human being’s health, while strictly vegetarian or even vegan diets, if followed strictly and carefully (!!!), meaning that a balanced diet is guaranteed and all necessary nutrition is provided (which is entirely possible without eating meat), has an overall positive effect on human health and even the potential to lengthen a human being’s lifespan.
But what do I know? I am just an uneducated stupid retard, right? Although I daresay I have probably read more books on nutrition alone than Collision has ever even had a look at - not matter what genre - in his entire life.
But he’ll probably answer that books are stupid anyway and that I am a retard for reading so much and yadda yadda yadda whatever. I wonder whether he has to compensate for something by insulting other people’s intelligence.
You also look like a skinny prick. Go put some meat on those bones you colossal faggot.
This is priceless.
The actual definition of sentience is a state of consciousness; your cat is sentient as it displays signs of consciousness.
What humans are, though, is Sapient. Sapience provides us with the ability to philsophically question things, and apply reason to our actions. “Common sense”, for example, is a sign of sapience.
Mind you, this entire thread is a bit odd. I think I’ll remain in my cave, away from the forums, where I can’t feel any of your whispers haunting my sleep or while I eat my balanced diet of dead animals and dead plants.
Edit: This dead chicken is absolutely delicious, dang.
Ok then. I meant sapience instead of sentience.
Point still stands.
But, since we cannot communicate with other animals, we cannot be sure of their sapience.
Crows have been able to figure out how to open nuts such as walnuts by utilizing problem solving, such as taking a walnut and dropping it from such a height that it hits the ground and breaks it open. Crows also have figured out that water level rises if you add something to it, so if they can’t reach the water level to drink, they drop stones into the water to raise the level up to a point that they can drink it.
Elephants use balls of chewed up bark to plug up holes in logs so that other animals can’t get to their water.
Sea otters use stones to hammer open abalone shells.
Is this sapience?
Every time you describe a living thing as “being made,” I die a little bit inside. Also, humans evolved to be omnivores and opportunists. Evolution bestowed on us the ability to eat whatever we want. Meat happens to be an excellent choice because we’re made of meat.
I thought about changing the phrasing, but didn’t think it mattered that much.
It is a pedantic point, I agree. It’s just that I hear a fair number of people say it and mean it.
Basically it comes down to this; Cows taste great when turned into a hamburger.
This is scientific and theological PROOF that God wants us to eat them.
Shit doesn’t taste good and that is because God doesn’t want us to eat shit.
Sentient or sapient or whatever, they taste good and therefore are good to eat.
You can’t argue with a lion about such things. It simply thinks, “mmm…this man looks delicious, I shall eat him”.
On a scientific note, when the monkeys started eating meat they consumed all the nutrients and protein which you cannot get from eating dirt and fruit which then, over hundreds of thousands of years, caused their brains to develop and grow.
This is why Vegans have smaller brains than the rest of us. True story, I’m a scientist.
^^ This man is smart.
Your ability to continue to spew out these unbacked and unreferenced facts is outstanding. Your clear refusal to accept proven logic seems to clearly indicate your brain lacks the strength to overcome your own stubborness, possibly due to the fact it lacks proper nutrients to adapt and grow to that of a regular brain.
Go eat a steak, you’ll get smarter, literally.
“Believe that man, he’s doctor for god’s sake!”
Now, I agree with the doc here, but also the answer to that will be unfailingly “But we are better than them! Because of our superior standing we must protect them!”. But the problem that this argument entails is that, for some reason, we should protect them because we are different. We have morals. To which I can only reply that, yes, we do. Flimsy, variable morals. Some morals that have screwed over humans much more than animals.
The best we can do is simply be practical about it and just go with an universal principle of “getting the biggest benefit from our enviroment while preserving the most of it”. It’s clean and efficient, rather than force feeding your morals into other people (or calling them retards for not accepting your ideas). It’s been done before, to great success.
besides killing baby cows is wrong but if you dont eat meat at all you break out vaginas
Congrats on proving my point that you are not fit to argue and thus resort to blurting out insults. My facts have plenty of backup, I just can’t be arsed to do the research for an ignorant prick such as you who won’t even take a look at whatever link I would provide. Or maybe I am wrong about that. Maybe you would even give it a “TL;DR”.
If we go with that principle, stopping to herd cattle, swine, chickens and other animals is actually going to help, because the fertile land that is now used to provide space and food for them will then be free to plant vegetables and grain there, which takes much less resources to grow, and provides food for many more people at the same time. Creating a hamburger is an inefficient way of producing food. If any of you actually bother to read into the data behind all this, research “reasons for vegetarianism” and related searches, and you will get to the right information.
One can not form a rebuttal to an unbacked claim.
You continue to go on about ‘facts’ but make no attempt to reference them, when you are the only person so far to cite such an ‘opinion’.
When you provide a stable and logical statement, I will counter with my rebuttal, until then, the dribble you constantly spew out will be met with equal logic.
But clearly, the left hemisphere of your brain is overpowering your right hemisphere, as you fail to take in new infomation and create a revision of your logic. Whether is be because your stubborness to never give in when wrong, or that your brain lacks the strength to adequately process new information (see eating meat).
I await your standard QQ and complaints about my ‘insults’ furthermore.
wow you’re all idiots
all of you
You’re just coming to this conclusion?
