Human Ancestors Were All Vegetarians?!

My common sense tells me we didn't survive harsh winters without eating meat somewhere along the way.
Think for thousands of years there was no refrigeration.

Crops don't grow in the winter but you can dig a hole right beside cabbage and bury it leaving it attached to its root system and have cabbage all winter providing you had enough planted to start with.

I imagine if it was eatable our ancestors ate it at some point to survive.

me and my partner have adopted the celtic diet,

the celts in scotland only ate meat on special occasions or on festivals. So we have taken the option of eating meat on a full moon only if you feel like it !
Or eating meat on any of the traditional celtic festive seasons

I think this has a lot more to do with not being active.

I eat meat three times a day most days yet my body is fit and healthy. Why?

I also eat junk food a lot. Cakes, ice cream, chocolate. I drink soft drinks everyday.

But I exercise every week. And I hike. I don't own a car and walk to a lot of places.

I know I'm health because I get regular check ups.
It's all about the movement.

vegans are weak and gaunt

Not true. I have two vegan friends and both of them are overweight.
Their so vegan that they have to take b12 pills. So vegan they wont even eat honey.
Both are fat.

I eat meat everyday and struggle to keep my weight at around 130lb. I'm 5'6.

Calories are calories.

Even a mentally challenged person would know that breaking a plant's twig is not the same suffering as breaking a human or animal's leg.

You're trying to argue that it nakes no difference. Well, it does unless you're incapable of empathy and compassion.

That is mighty presumptive of you. Sociopathic, lack of empathy.

because I value all life equally...got it. Im going to assume you are young and idealistic, or old and ignorant.

See, anyone can disparage another person for offering discourse in opposition to said other person.

Tolerance, its real and aids in a discussion

I'm not too surprised. Personally a vegetarian about 25 years, I wouldn't have it any other way.

My personal hero, Admiral Spock is also vegetarian.
