Hey PETA- DON'T MESS WITH MEATEATERS. AFTER ALL MY KIND MADE EXTINCT ALL SORTS OF COMPETITORS

Bugs and berries. A balanced diet.

"I think we can learn a lesson from this," Stanford said. "Eating meat is fine, but in moderation and with a lot of exercise."

So you can only get your Monster Thickburger if you run across five miles of savanna to catch it.

I've been a vegetarian for several decades now, and my chest hair hasn't thinned.

"Now we eat them year-round. They may have hunted one deer a season and eaten it over several months."

Hmmmm---I wonder how they managed THAT, not having refrigeration, and all.

"Still, if humans developed genes to compensate for a meat-rich diet, why do so many now suffer from high cholesterol and vascular disease?"

I'm not 100% convinced, but maybe it has something to do with the amount of trans-fatty acids, produced by the hydrogenation of vegetable oils, in our diets? Supposedly cardio-vascular disease was quite rare before they came onto the scene.

[ZombieReagan]

Evolution?!? Everybody knows that God designed humans to be meat-eaters!

[MacDorcha]

Just wondering out loud here though...

How would we have "evolved into meat eating"?

Did someone wake up one day and all of a sudden have the ability to eat meat when all his collegues died from it?

An honest question, please don't flame me as putting down evolution or something like that.

I mean it though; if eating meat would have killed us before we "evolved into eating meat" how did our ancestors know to eat meat in the first place?

If they repeated what other animals did, then they ate meat and died of parasites long before they got the gene.

If they didn't, how did they know to start eating meat?

[Lunkhead_01]

Is that a picture of a PETA person caterwallering about eating meat?

[the invisib1e hand]

PETA vs. Darwinists. Godlessness makes strange bedfellows.

[Arrowhead1952]

Everyone knows that PETA is right. Our human ancestors did not eat meat. They made stone arrowheads and spear heads for killing the plants. They had no use for bows and arrows, other than to kill those fast running plants.

[Rakkasan1]

how can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

[ZULU]

Take THAT PETA!!!!!!!!!!

[BigSkyFreeper]

I didn't scratch and crawl my way to the top of the food chain to eat a bowl of salad.

[RightWingAtheist]

The creationists and vegans struck down with one stone. I love it.

[SunkenCiv]

Pass the A-1. ;')

When our human ancestors started eating meat, evolution served up a healthy bonus - the development of genes that offset high cholesterol and chronic diseases associated with a meat-rich diet, according to a new USC study.

Sounds like USC needs to stick to football. "Chronic diseases associated with a meat rich diet"? How do predators survive and how do chimps, who eat lots of meat, survive??

[eagle11]

Could tolerance of a high meat diet and blood type be related? As in the "blood type diet"? Before you laugh, alot of O-types do better with meat, and A and AB-types do better with vegan diets. Anyone ever read Four Diets for your Type by D'Adamo?

"Stanford, co-director of the university's Goodall Research Center, said that modern-day humans "tend to gorge ourselves with meat and fat."" Great. Applying the theory, we will live to the age of Methuselah
