>>> No, Joe and Neal, we are not omnivores. Our digestive system, typically

 

11-12 times the length of our torso, is quite dissimilar from that of other

omnivores and is poorly designed to process animal flesh. Our mouth,

saliva, indeed our entire system is designed to process plant-based foods,

and high-water-content foods at that. Our digestive systems CAN process

other things, but only at a very high cost, in metabolic terms.

 

Those who would eat meat make this claim, and of course they represent a

clear majority, but there is no anatomical connection to support this claim.

No amount of chanting, " The Earth is flat, the Earth is flat " will make it

so. Further, once we stop eating meat for awhile, we typically come to find

the thought of doing so repugnant; that is, we naturally and gracefully

return to our roots in Nature's design.

 

You can hold onto this belief if you wish, of course, but it is false

nonetheless.

 

Best, Elchanan

This is absolutely 100% true, rooted in science, anatomy, biology, you name

it.

Yup - he REALLY said it!

 

WHAT is retirement anyway.... I don't know anyone my age who has

nothing to do but sadly I do know a few middle aged youngsters who

are alienating everyone - family and friends with all their harsh

judgements. Now a few of them might be alone...

I have to know - does this include mosquitoes?
