What is the secret of 4 meat eating teeth we have

[Piling]

We know the diet of homo sapiens sapiens before Neolithic : it was meat of big animals, but also small things like frogs, perhaps insects, fruits, nuts, etc.

Human imperiously need to diversify their diet because evolution made that individuals could survive better with a various diet than a uniform one : when meat lacked, eggs or mushrooms or fish could replace it.

Concerning the lower agressivity by plant eaters, it is not the case of gorillas or cheetah, quite irascible species.


Beside, I wonder if pro Paleo diet know that one of the feast meal of Neanderthal and Homo Sapiens was human flesh…

Typical recipe of Sunday Paleo : Eating Grand Ma coz she has passed away on Saturday.

I missed to add the following paragraph to the post:

One questions remains to be answered. Why we became plant eaters, herbivores? This could be because of a sort of environmental changes, which caused shortages of meat. This forced human species to eat plants. Consequently on the long run plants became our main food in addition to meat when it became available. In parallel to that, our teeth, except four, changed to cut and grind plants.

On the other hand, shortages of meat, might not have anything to do with it. It could have been an evolutionary diversion without reason. Evolution is a research and development workshop without control, plan, direction and design. So a meat eater can become plant eater without any reason or the other way round.

At first hominides ate more vegetables than meat but a dryness in Africa pushed the first Homo (not our specy) to live in savanas and ate more meat.

So that's more the contrary : from a 3/4 vegetarian diet to a meat eater diet. Then Neolithic Revolution changed it and we became more dairy/cerals eaters. except some nomad/shepherd groups who did not cultivate, and ate more dairy than meat.

In places where vegetables and fruits are inexistant, populations ate only meat and fat : Inuits, for example. In places where big pieces of meat were rare or hard to access, people ate many vegetables, fruits, but also eggs, insects, etc.

The only valuable evolution is the one which allows to a group to survive in a specific place. Humans spred all over the planet because of their ability to change their own diet in a spectacular way.

Before, when someone was intolerant to milk, gluten, or had any critical allergy, death happened quickly, often during childhood.

Today, many people can live with such diseases and give the impression of an epidemy (gluten, lactose, glucose intolerance, etc). The point is that our food might be not very healthy but our medicine keeps us alive until an older age.

And medicine progress happened thanks to meat eaters, because our brain developps in a such huge proportion when we begin to eat meat and cooked meal. So even veggies have to be grateful toward butchers

Good deductions !!! But I am sure meat has nothing to do with the growth of the brain to become larger because meat is not a complete diet and is not easy to get. A meat eater always starves and has bad intestines. On the other hand, plant eater always has food enough and has good intestines because plant diet is full of fibre, which cleans intestine, and plant diet is a fully nutritious food.

handling a diet of meat is very easy, you either scavenger it or hunt a prey. So to get a diet of meat you always follow the same routine. But to get a diet of plant you have to use your brain to use your hand always in a different ways to pick up different kinds of plant food. The use of hands always and very often in a different manner to handle plant food must have kicked the brain to stimulate to different external stimulus, which let to its growth on the long term.

I have made my own fermented vegetables. It is really nice, I eat it before meals.

Did you taste it ? Once I tested a soy steak… it was like chewing paper. I am very sceptical concerning false-food.

@Londoner : what's the pink liquid ? beet juice ?

Beside if you never eat meat nor dairy nor eggs, you should better to take B12 vitamin or you'll have serious deficiency.

[Londoner]

The pink liquid comes from red cabbage.

The Quorn tasted alright but not as good as chicken - the advantage was eating guilt-free food

I thought it reminded me of red cabbage

[Piling]

I like red cabbage… with sour cream, mustard and sausage.

Concerning the Quor (did not even knew its existence)… what a depressing thing. Well, just neutral and tasteless as tofu.

I prefer a good juicy roasted chicken. But yesterday I will eat beef tongue. Very sinful meal, one of the fattest meat.

Take out the tongue and the poor animal cannot complain

I inform you that your quor has milk and egg in it. SO by eating something as tasty as paper you killed a calf and hundred of chicken.

I am a criminal BUT my crime is a gastronomic one.

I am Hannibal Lecter.

OK Hannibal point taken I shall not be eating any more quorn - I will stick to mushrooms
