Societies that hunt for their meat tend to eat a higher percentage of their calories from meat than a lot of modern cultures. With the existance of "modern" ideas (under 5K years old ;^) like vegitarian eating the trend is the opposite of your suggestion. Doug, stop posturing, it isn't helping. I am writing about whole grains verses refined grains. As a species, we are omnivores. We eat what is available. What do you have to say against saturated fats and/or meat as food? I think vegetables are wonderful, and we should eat more of them, BUT the calories aren't there. The calories are in fat, and grain. Fat because it is energy dense, and grain because it is plentiful. If you want to promote vegetarianism, fine. Like organic farming, vegetarianism promotes many fine goals. But for me, at some point, I have to say, I'm sorry Mr. Pig/Chicken, but you have had a good life, we have had some good laughs, and you have had many children. I'm sorry Mr. Pig/Chicken, but now I, and my family, must eat you. Sorry Mr. Pig/Chicken. That, of course, is not the nightmarish way most of our meat dies. See the movie "Food Inc." I eat less meat because of it, but I eat meat. Don't think less of me because of it. It is our tradition. It is in our genes. -- Wildbilly http://english.aljazeera.net/news/mi...826384398.html http://countercurrents.org/roberts020709.htm |
