    "Is vegetarianism the natural option?"

    The answer to that Q is no. However, I thought this author did a commendable job of discussing the debate between the two sides worth a read.

    Cliffs:

    • Human ancestors have been shown to have been eating meat millions of years ago and humans (Homo sapiens) have been eating meat as long as there have been humans, but that does not mean we need it per se to be healthy.

    • Humans are not vegetarian animals but true omnivores

    "In the world of nutrition, there's no debate as fiery and fierce as the one between meat eaters and vegetarians. In this Spotlight feature, we ask whether or not humans were designed to be vegetarian.

    Some people choose a plant-based diet for health reasons, while others do so with more ethical concerns in mind. On the other side of the dinner plate, some meat lovers put little thought into whether they should or shouldn't eat meat, while others will defend their right to chow down on animal muscles until the end of time.

    Passions can run surprisingly high when it comes to dietary decisions. Food is a matter of survival, and deep down in our primate brain, we still feel that we need to defend our food sources."
