God got rid of the purpose for our appendix when he said, (IN A DEEP VOICE), "Homo's eat meat! That's homo sapiens, some races like the inuits are really well adapted to meat.
White fat is actually essential in the diet... Yunny. Hate vegetarians, don't they like bacon.
Recent danish research shows that men that eat meat are smarter or better of, than men that don't

Good news for meat lovers: Diets high in protein, including meat and milk, strengthens our perception and reaction time.
It shows a study from LIFE, Faculty of Life Sciences at Copenhagen University.
- The study subjects over three weeks ate a special protein diet, had a more significant speed perception and teak production capacity and made fewer errors in a number of cognitive tests than subjects who ate an average diet, writes University of Copenhagen in a press release.
23 healthy young men aged 19-31 were divided into two groups. One experimental group were to continue their normal protein intake, while the second group took twice as much protein (about 3 g / kg body weight per day. Day) from mainly milk and meat.
- The aim was to investigate whether cognitive function and muscle function is affected by increased protein intake. The physical function was not affected, but it did turn on cognitive function, as measured in several ways.
A computer-based test showed that the number of errors were minor and speed of delivery of the correct answers was improved in those who ate a diet with high content of proteins. Moreover, the young people who ate a lot of protein, better in an orientation test, writes University of Copenhagen.
The improvement in cognitive function among subjects who ate a lot of protein, due to an increased content of certain amino acids in the blood increased with the increased protein intake. These amino acids are believed to increase brain levels of certain neurotransmitters, which leads to faster responses in the brain.
- Previous studies that have examined the same, has only been a single day's duration, so our study shows for the first time that the impact of sustained, high protein intake keeps, "says Lene Holm Jakobsen, Ph.D. by LIFE.
The new research may mean that the government dietary recommendations should be revised.
I would say that eating dogs, cats, and horses is okay, but I wouldn't personally do it.
When a bond forms between you and one of those animals, it can be hard to even think about eating any of the other ones. The same if your culture is not used to it. I'm sure people in Asia who eat dogs and stuff do it with no hesitation, while I could only do it if I was starving.

You do realize humans are not herbivores?
but we have teeth/molars shaped like herbivores; flat. while carnivores have sharp teeth for ripping flesh from bone save for bears and other like omivores.
and i remember either reading it, or being told that our digestive system isn't built for meat. maybe that's why diseases happen to the human body cause of it. naturally foods should not cause the human body to be unhealthy/fatal. it'd be counter productive to evolution.
right?

I found some information supporting the theroy they we are natural omnivores.
Are We Omnivores?
As intriguing as these arguments may be, the idea that humans are natural vegetarians has "no scientific basis in fact," argues anatomist and primatologist John McArdle. Alarmed by this growing belief, McArdle, a vegetarian, says the human anatomy proves that people are omnivores.
"We obviously are not carnivores, but we are equally obviously not strict vegetarians, if you carefully examine the anatomical, physiological and fossil evidence," says McArdle, executive director of the Alternatives Research and Development Foundation in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
According to a 1999 article in the journal The Ecologist, several of our physiological features "clearly indicate a design" for eating meat, including "our stomach's production of hydrochloric acid, something not found in herbivores. Furthermore, the human pancreas manufactures a full range of digestive enzymes to handle a wide variety of foods, both animal and vegetable.
"While humans may have longer intestines than animal carnivores, they are not as long as herbivores'; nor do we possess multiple stomachs like many herbivores, nor do we chew cud," the magazine adds. "Our physiology definitely indicates a mixed feeder."
If people were designed to be strict vegetarians, McArdle expects we would have a specialized colon, specialized teeth and a stomach that doesn't have a generalized pH-all the better to handle roughage. Tom Billings, a vegetarian for three decades and site editor of BeyondVeg.com, believes humans are natural omnivores. Helping prove it, he says, is the fact that people have a low synthesis rate of the fatty acid DHA and of taurine, suggesting our early ancestors relied on animal foods to get these nutrients. Vitamin B-12, also, isn't reliably found in plants. That, Billings says, left "animal foods as the reliable source during evolution."
History argues in favor of the omnivore argument, considering that humans have eaten meat for 2.5 million years or more, according to fossil evidence. Indeed, when researchers examined the chemical makeup of the teeth of an early African hominid that lived in woodlands three million years ago, they expected to learn that our ancestor lived on fruits and leaves. "But the isotopic clues show that it ate a varied diet, including either grassland plants or animals that themselves fed on grasses," reported the journal Science in 1999.
