Iron is essential for birth and survival and red meat is the best source for this.
Particularly women. Women already have 15% less red blood cells circulating, hemoglobin, and lron. This already compounded with how much blood a
female loses during menstruation and childbirth. Iron isn't it''s own renewable source. We have to get it from plants, which has some iron but not
enough for homo whatever yo solely survive, or meat, which has an abundant supply.
If you want the info I'm going off of it from this book. To read more in depth on this subject and why iron is (or was) so important to our diet read
the chapter 4
lant Iron/ Meat Iron, pg 39-43.
Sex, Time, and
Power
India is also one of the highest in infant deaths and deaths during pregnancy and the women and children there look sickly.
. And we both know
that if they aren't eating meat for iron, then they have figured out an equally abundant source.
Consuming meat had it's purposes 100,000-150,000 years ago and they where way more important then than now. Today, it isn't as important and
definitely not important enough to treat animals the way we do. I think it would do humanity some good to go vegan for a while. Hostility, I think,
would definitely go down.
Meat had it's purposes in our evolution but we are always evolving.
