we are always changing to suit our environment.
we dont need meat to survive - we need protein. that can be found elsewhere.
i just cant help wondering what makes us better than the animals we kill.
and as a race we dont eat tu survive - we're generally gluttons - eating far more than we need - at least in north america...
i dont know any other animals that do that - except maybe beagles.

You don't need hundreds of DVDs, multiple televisions, or even a decent size house to survive either. It's about quality of life, if you think being a vegetarian will enhance the quality of you life... GREAT! I enjoy eating meat and don't think I'll ever stop. As far as the appendix goes, all of the potential reasons for the existence of it are theoretical. As far as teeth go, if our teeth started out as herbivore teeth and developed over time to be suited to eat meat then we must have needed that "evolution" for some reason. Anyway, it's been suggestion (by vegetarian groups that must push for everybody to join them) that humans should be herbivores because of their physiology (

Dogs can be gluttonous, so can fish, and cats... anything domesticated really.
I love beef.
