17. 2. It's a myth that eating animals is bad for your health.

You'd think that an atheist would understand that we evolved from herbivores (Lucy was a vegetarian. Maybe ate some meat like chimps do sometimes) and we have been omnivores for a long long time. So it is NOT healthy to just eat veggies without some supplements. (tofu doesn't grow on trees). Herbivores usually have large guts and not big brains.... or at least not brains like carnivores. We most likely could not have developed our big brains had we remained vegetarians.


All that being said.... our meat-produced brains can now come up with nutritional stuff that makes it OK to be a vegetarian if one so desires. It is also true that in the US.... we eat way too much meat.
