We got here as a species by tasty tasty meat. Some steak fries and light salad are optional.

    I think that has mostly been debunked. Even the hunter gatherers were much more gathering than hunting, in the big picture. And fishing is probably more relevant than meat (if we're making that distinction). And later it was really agriculture that made our species what it is and it's very much the grains (and rice) that made the big difference.

    Not a vegan btw.

    I think you are giving a very eurocentric description of early humanity

    I agree. Still, the distinction is a very cultural one. So many cultures, even civilisations can trace their beginning back to a coastline or river. Hunting things like mammoths was actually quite rare, but it makes for better stories. Taxonomically there isn't even such a thing as a "fish".

    This is actually a quote I picked up from a t-shirt once produced by Ryan North, creator of Dinosaur Comics, that amused me and stuck in my brain. Are you calling Ryan North, creator of Dinosaur Comic stupid as fuck? Because them's fightin' words.

    We are this thing called "omnivores." If your brain worked, you might bother to find out what that means. It would revolutionize your whole existence.

    Dude. You have some kind of problem with steak fries and a salad? That is not meat by the way but pootaaato and lettuce. My existence is one of understanding and comprehension but yours is not.

    I'm starting to think you're trolling me. But in case you really are this stupid, I was reacting to this part of your statement: "We got here as a species by tasty tasty meat."
