Like I keep telling vegetarians and vegans, we didn’t kill our way to the top of the food chain only to eat a few leaves.
If we weren’t able to digest it, we would’ve found that out a long time ago.
If we couldn’t chew it, we’d either eat it as a paste, or not at all.
They’ll never understand it.
“The answer, it seems, is the gorillas’ raw, vegan diet (devoid of animal protein), which requires hours upon hours of eating only plants to provide enough calories to support their mass.”
Naw. gorillas don’t need big brains since all they think about is how lousy those plants and leaves taste and where they can get a double bacon cheese burger.
Oh well. Thought I would be seeing an actual full-hearted tell-off to the vegans out of MSDNC. Instead, I see evolutionary nonsense mixed in about gorillas and whatnot. (Chimps hunt animals for food, but it doesn’t put their intelligence at human level.) If I were in the article author’s place, I’d have the flame-retardant suit on before the libs remind him that gorillas are eight times stronger than Olympic weightlifters, on average . . . (ain’t got a thing to do with diet)
The author manages to contradict himself with the final statemenst about there being many good reasons to go vegetarian or vegan when he just wrote a great expose detailing why going vegan or vegetarian would have made us all puny idiots. If going v and v would have made us inferior now, it will then make us inferior in the future. Moral of the story: to stay strong and smart, eat meat.
high grade animal protein increased our brain power and gave us time away from dumb grazing animals, to increase our intellect and ponder our next moves...which developed into science and art.
I think that's the problem in the schools, too. These kids need REAL protein....eggs, meat and dairy. Stop the rabbit diet.
Almost all mammalian herbivores have gut specializations and flora that allow them to kinda retain and “ferment” their foods.
No such items in humans.
Actually, human “pass through” time is more like carnivores, who digest and pass through their foods quickly.
This certainly explains why vegans are always narrow minded small brain people.

The cow ate the grass.
I ate the steak.
There is symmetry.
And alcohol focused that brainpower into civilization, and provided sterilized water to drink.
Fermentation required a basic scientific and manufacturing process. Alcohol killed off all the nasties living in most water.
Here’s to steak and beer!

Human beings were designed by God (or by "Mother Nature",for all you atheists) to be omnivores.Anyone needing proof should ask any dentist.
Not too long ago, a scientist studying nutrition was puzzled, because he wanted to know the nutritional difference between raw and cooked food, and couldn’t find any research about it.
Then he discovered that when calories of food were determined with an elaborate device called a calorimeter, which determines calories by incinerating food, no distinction was made between raw and cooked food.
He knew that digestion can only get a fraction of the nutrition from raw food compared to cooked food, so there should be a huge difference in “available calories”.
To check this out, he studied people who were on a raw food only diet, and discovered that even if they ate considerably more raw food calories, almost every one had at least some form of malnutrition.
The implications of this are that the calorie tables put on food are wildly inaccurate, and need significant adjustment. Proteins, fats, carbohydrates and their subset sugars, as well as vitamins and minerals, are all very different from what they are alleged to be.
However, it is not easy to tell how much nutrition is obtained from food, and how high up in the digestive tract. But until this is done, nutritional labels on food are wrong.
***Vegetarian, vegan and raw diets can be healthy likely far healthier than the typical American diet.***
I know a woman who has never eaten meat. She is a health basketcase. Thin as a rail, constantly sick, Tries to live a “naural” life. Needs to smoke “medical marijuana” to ease her pains. Seventh Day Adventist. Nuff said.
Vegan. Never met one that didn’t have serious medical issues they didn’t dismiss as having nothing to do with being idiots. They are usually in very poor health.
