Probably the worst topic to blog on, here. But that said. You are soooooo wrong. First deal with taste. Things taste good to us because our bodies need the necessary combination of chemicals in the food we are tasting. And the vitamins. Secondly, we are carnivorus. The scientific and medical community will attest to this. Man is a beast of prey. Our original diet consisted almost entirely of meat from the flesh of dead animals.
You are trying to make humans into something to equal the gods. We are see more not. We have been given the desire and need for certain types of meat. Some races prefer Lamb, other races see more benefit from red meat and some races exist better on Fish. But, it is rare to find humans of any race that exist better on just greens. In fact many types of vegetables like tomatoes are really bad for some races and cause physical pain. Many nightshades are semi-poisonous to some, not all.
You are trying to group man into one simple definition, and you cannot. We are all different and most likely evolved from different combination's of creatures and therefore need certain diets.

Probably the worst topic to blog on, here, yet I am happy it appeared somewhere where we have so many different, mature and often influential people sharing their views.

"we are carnivores"

That's what I was TOUGHT by my parents, too. As far hard facts, general scientific consensus, or my personal observations I am not convinced. Not at all.

You sound sure and you bring up great points. Some can't eat tomatos, some prefer fish over meat, etc. I know people who eat only fresh fruit see more and veggies and particularly love raw potatoes. They eat potatoes only for weeks and LOVE the taste.

Form that I can infer that we are lucky to have a highly adaptive digestive system, which we can train to consume just about anything. I don't buy into "necessary vitamins, chemicals" argument for the very reason that I see MUCH more healthy-looking vegetarians than "carnivores". C'mon I've been there! I know the difference and I watch my own body changing and reacting to new food. After a few years of being vegetarian my weight is the same as it was when I was on a meat diet (50% meat at least), but I feel SO much better.

Yes, we are different, but I'm calling to what YOU say is right, not what I try to make you believe in. It's YOU who teach your kids to be gentle and caring, loving and compassionate. Just not to full extend... you don't say it all until they're ready for truth.
