| Please don't go veggie, it’s so silly.
Yes it has some good points, lower toxic level, more nutrients, probably better than SAD.
BUT humans were clearly designed to eat animals, for millions of years we have eaten animals, and have evolved to survive and flourish on them. Please point out any pre agricultural groups that did not eat any animals, I don’t think you will find any.
For one thing, there are essential amino acids that your body cannot make and you can only get a full range from animals. Most vegetarians are B12 deficient as well. Also animals are clearly more nutrient dense that plants (it is a fallacy that they are not). Liver, eggs, seafood are packed with nutrients, way above any plant.
This is started to sound awful paleo, and while that movement is not perfect it is a step in the right direction.
On an interesting side note, one theory of evolution argues that what caused us to evolve away from apes was our growing ability to hunt/eat animals, providing different nutrients, which enabled us to get big brains.
Another theory is suggests a bottleneck style evolution took place at some point, putting us all on the coast, that made humans hunt/ eat lots of fish, further feeding and growing our big brains (omega 3s and the like).
The lesson is eat meat……well at least fish, maybe some eggs as well, a little liver, perhaps a steak, and pork, lard, duck, meatloaf, meat feast………………. You get the idea.
