Vege/Carnivore: Class Struggle or Lack of Information?

[Guest guest]

I once asked author/lecturer, Robbins, if 3 million years of

eating meat(raw & cooked) by our ancestors was sufficient to adapt us

to a mostly animal protein/fat diet. He mentioned something about the

intestinal length of " true " carnivores(lions). He didn't respond to

my question with an informed, intelligent answer. Of course we have

adapted to a hunter-gather diet. Recent revisions by

paleo/anthropological researchers estimate our animal protein/fat

intake at 50-75% on the average with the rest being nuts, fruits,

vegetables, insects, etc. I respect the work of Robbins,

Lyman and other vegans when it concerns organic agriculture and

humane raising of livestock and against " factory farming. " However,

their advocacy of vegan/vegetarian diets for infants/children and

teens is not only wrong scientifically/medically but also dangerous

to their health and cognitive development. Dr.

article, " Myths of Vegetarianism " is at www.westonaprice.org as are

the articles of Enig and Sally Fallon on the toxic dangers of

unfermented soy products and hydrogenated vegetable oils. Go to

http://chetday.com/cordaininterview.html for an overview on the human

paleodiet. It's questionable if we've genetically adapted to eating

grain products in the last 10,000 or so years(see www.mercola.com)
