To put it simply, hogwash and horseshit. Humans are the ultimate
adapters. We are omnivores and because of our brain and tool making
skills we don't require talons and fangs. Let those pure carnivores wear
out their fangs and talons and energy! I'd just grab a club and Whang
Bam, dinner is served!
We are built to eat anything that moves or doesn't move. That is our
design spec.

Moderation rules. If everyone practiced moderation in their cuisine then

I prefer my steak medium rare...or in a pinch, rare will do. I just
don't wanna see it moving when I start cutting. Lots of restaurants seem
to cater to my desires so I would guess that carnivores are still In.

I just wanna know why they are so mad. Hmm, come to think of it, I would
be mad too if people wanted to eat me all the time. Well, outside of a
few lady friends...umm, never mind, I am not going there cause ... well,
I am not. *blush*

Whoa..mebbe I should order my steak well done so the violence producing
toxic substances are cooked out. So, are there any studies underway
about toxic substances produced by plants when they are about to be
harvested? PLANTS HAVE FEELINGS TOO!!
Actually, to stop being so silly, I eat very little meat but I like it
on occasion and personally have no problems with being an omnivore.
