Some people never understand that there are only two types of humans: Predator and prey.

Once you have the mindset of the former, you seldom if ever become the latter. Once one assumes the latter, they never become the former.

Our forefathers didn't claw their way to the top of the food chain in order for us to eat our vegetables. We're carnivores by design.

The meek shall inherit the $hit.

In fact, according to a recent documentary I saw, becoming carnivorous was an evolutionary advantage, for a couple of reasons. First of all, the meat-eating humans could move out of Africa to a variety of other locales, since "their food moved with them". Contrast this to the humans that couldn't because they could only eat vegetation specific to the area.

Also I believe there were nutritional benefits. There were a couple of other reasons I can't remember.

My husband likes to tease me that I am evolutionarily regressing as I am vegetarian. :D Oh well.
