So what does that have to do with anything? I'm **** sapiens and not **** erectus. We as the species that we are today are meat-eaters as well as broccoli munchers. Mixed diet is what humans normally do. Our teeth are adapted to that, our digestive organs are adapted to that, our body works best that way. (Yes, if you take care and eat some special foods you can be very healthy & strong w/o meat, too. That's not the point.) If you try to argue with that, you're ********. ****, even chimpanzees hunt and eat meat sometimes.

BS. "luxury"? Caveman ate meat. WTF is the relevance of the fact that some people cannot afford or don't have access to meat? (Well, it
is relevant... just not in this regard.)
I respect you for not eating animals. It's sort of nice. But your ideology is utter rubbish and just plain wrong.
