[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 3201012, member: 18225"] On a side note, yes, humans are omnivores. But meat (cow, chicken, fish, etc.) likely shouldn’t be more than 10% of anyone’s diet. Vegetables/fruits>grains>dairy>meat is the proper dietary hierarchy, in descending order of predominance by volume. Our free-ranging ancestors ate meat when they could get it, not twice a day, seven days a week like many do in our contemporary society. The health effects of over-consumption of animal products are well-documented: Yes, our bodies are designed to eat meat, but not at the levels that we currently consume, and the environmental effects of our production of meat are equal to or greater than the effects of all the cars on the planet. A conservative estimate puts it at 1000 gallons of water to produce a pound of beef. That's insane - we don't need all the beef we're eating, but we need the water. Honestly, this is why we haven't been contacted by aliens - they all died on their home planets before reaching interstellar capability, which is what we're working toward here on earth.
