You may feel inferior if you wish, that is your prerogative.

Nicely redundant.  At any rate, as
long as just about every other mammal
on earth can make its own vitamin C
internally, the alleged superiority of
the human body over other animals
is a lie on the face of it.

Well, that does depend on a definition of superiority. Since humans seem to be the only entities proffering an opinion, I believe we win.

Why? Because we can and do eat fruit? Because as humans we actually enjoy fruit? A dog is superior to me because he doesn't want or need fruit? Stunning proof that objectivity can leave you wanting for common sense. ; * )
