It is our genetic pre-disposition to eat anything... and our parents or caretakers should teach us what not to eat. That's why kids just thrust everything in their mouths.
It would be disrespectful to our ancestors to abstain from eating something that allowed them to live. Tongue

On the other hand, as long as you get your proteins, and all other nutrients you need, I don't care where you get them from... and your ancestors probably don't care either....as long as you don't get them from me or my family.

Why should people view evolution as a quasi-religious belief that implies any sort of specific course of action?
