The world has been over-populated with humans since Adam and Eve arrived.

”The world is grossly over-populated with farm animals as well as humans.”

No it isn’t. The human over population is a lie only believed my naive people.

this is absolute crap. I can counter argue that we’ve evolved and adapted into empathic beings who are able to synthesise the B12 and extract flax seed oil.

So where we are now,brain-wise is actually encouraging veganism.

on a related matter, did you evolve to have such versatile digits to type nonsense online?

you really asked for it

Yes, you’re right, I confused her with Dianne Fossey for a moment. Nevertheless her research is (very) dated. The people doing research now knows that chimps hunt – a lot – they have a particular preference for monkey meat, and they are ESPECIALLY fond of the baby monkeys (because their meat is more tender).

Your sources are Jane Goodall ? She died before Bonobo’s were even recognized as a different species. While she was a good scientist – her work is – to put it mildly – decades out of date and entirely discredited now.

I said nothing of the ORIGINS of our teeth – I spoke of the NATURE of our teeth – and that IS verifiable scientific fact.

Even then you are wrong – the origins of mammalian teeth are very well known. Mammals unlike any other group of animals have interlocking teeth that are specialized to various jobs. Such teeth have many advantages but come with one major disadvantage: you can’t just keep replacing them since they are so specialized and each one is unique. Crocs and sharks and the like – just keep growing teeth for ever since every tooth is the same as the others. So the problem is- mouths get bigger, the teeth that are perfect in a young-un aren’t in an adult. So mammals (all mammals) grow two sets, one as we leave the very early stages of childhood to last through until just before puberty – and a second which we keep for the rest of our lives. We know the origins of this since it’s clearly visible in the fossil record. More importantly – this created an evolutionary pressure that did not previously exist. What the hell do you feed the babies before that first set of teeth grow in ?
Result: milk glands. We became mammals BECAUSE of our teeth.

chimpanzees diet consists of 1-4% of meat and is nutritionally insignificant as are the bugs they eat which makes up 4%. Eatting Meat and bugs are political and cultural tools. They do not eat meat for nutritional reasons. Please read the following if you really are as you claim a man of science

A critique of: A hypothesis to Explain the Role of Meat Eating in Human Evolution by Katharine Milton by Jane Goodall. Scientifically credible information on Vegan and Vegetarian dietshttp://www.ecologos.org/index.htmlhttp://www.brookfieldzoo.org/pagegen/inc…Goodall, Jane, The Chimpanzees of Gombe, Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA (1986), p. 233Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, Worth Pub., (1982), p. 158.Graph showing primate dietshttp://www.ecologos.org/primatediets.htmhttp://www.ecologos.org/meat-eating.htm

Nobody knows the truth about the origin of our teeth, stop pretending you do, unless you have conducted an extensive study and can bring new evidencve forward on the subject stop presenting opinion as fact.

lol. criticize the meat and dairy industry so that the soy and gluten industries will prosper hahaha. well done.
also, if you think that the vegan diet is complete and natural, please do not take any form of dietary supplement like vit. b12 coz these are man made.
fyi. we are omnivores not frugivores.

You can get every single nutrient on a vegan diet.
Every single physical feature of the homo sapiens correlates with that of a herbivore.
It is idiotic to use a grazing animal to compare to use. Grazing animals are a whole different class of herbivores. We are frugivores.
The world is grossly over-populated with farm animals as well as humans. Food has to be grown to feed the meat. This is a hideous waste when world hunger is a problem.
There is not enough room in the world to eat animal products.
Vegans have lower risks of all kinds of diseases.
The Milk and Meat industries are constantly promoting their products and brainwashing people.
Vegans are doing something that is very difficult – all people do is mock vegans and spread lies about us – for no reason other than to make the world a better place. People are always implying that we’re misleading people but why would we do that? there’s no reason to. Unlike the milk and Meat industries.
