I don't follow you.
When i say that?

I looked at the Anando Margo diet and saw that it permits dairy products which humans didn't start using until around 10,000 years ago. This adaptation still hasn't got to all humans yet because 10,000 years isn't very long.
Early humans were butchers 3.4 million years ago
Quote:Our ancestors were carving meat some 800,000 years earlier than previously thought. Marks on fossilised animal bones found in Ethiopia indicate that early-human butchers were using stone tools as early as 3.4 million years ago.
I just find it odd that someone could teach that humans didn't adapt to meat eating after millions of years even though we've been adapting to dairy products for the past 10,000 years.
I wonder what would have happened to the Giant Panda if it had believed that carnivores couldn't adapt to living on a 99% bamboo diet.

Nothing really new under the stars.
I'm a vegetarian for ethical reasons, not because I'm hoping it will influence which culture I'm born into in my next life. Would you be a vegetarian if you didn't believe in reincarnation and hadn't been taught that humans aren't designed to eat meat?
Where are the snake and mushroom smilies?
