Pythagoreanism was much more than just not eating meat.

Old Greek saying:
Vegetarians = bad hunters

I guess I’ll point out the absurdity of Business Insider promoting the virtues of vegetarianism.

Pythagoras died in 495 BC

Well there you have it. Killed by plants.

In the Bible, Adam and Even are told by God what’s available for them to eat - it was a vegetarian/fruit diet.

But the people were crap and had to be wiped out with the flood.

When Noah left the ark, he too was told what was available.

But this time, meat was on the menu.

Pythagoras was alright. It was Newton who left me in his dust.

Just think, if he'd switched to Big Macs he prolly could have invented Cold Fusion.

Man developed the biggest brain because he of all the apes was the only one who specialized in hunting, killing and eating other animals. Other primates' brain development was and remains limited because of the architectural compromises placed on a skull that must anchor jaw muscles powerful enough to regularly grind grains and crack nuts. Vegetarianism is counter-evolutionary.
