are vegetarians more ethical by not eating meat?
RE: are vegetarians more ethical by not eating meat?
Quote:Considering that the human body is totally in line with a vegetarian diet (fruit, nuts, grain, vegetable etc) then you would draw that your theory is just a dogma (false true).

Um, go to a mirror and smile. See those pointy teeth on your upper and lower jaws. Those are not for hunting broccoli. In fact, one of the surest signs of human evolution is the reduction in tooth size over several million years.

Were it not for meat eating we would not be sitting here having this discussion.

Quote:One study suggests that the high calories found in meat helped fuel the development of the human brain. The researchers believed it would’ve been impossible for early humans to gather enough calories from meat-free foods to feed their growing brains. If early humans had followed a raw diet (like gorillas), they would have had to eat for a total of nine hours every day in order to consume enough calories for proper brain development. On the flip side, if gorillas were to develop a humanlike brain, they would need to eat 700 additional calories per day — an extra two hours of eating all those greens.
