Eating Meat Helped Early Humans Reproduce
PolygamousRanchKid writes "If early humans had been vegans we might all still be living in caves, Swedish researchers suggested in an article Thursday. When a mother eats meat, her breast-fed child's brain grows faster and she is able to wean the child at an earlier age, allowing her to have more children faster, the article explains. 'Eating meat enabled the breast-feeding periods and thereby the time between births to be shortened,' said psychologist Elia Psouni of Lund University in Sweden. 'This must have had a crucial impact on human evolution.' She notes, however, that the results say nothing about what humans today should or should not eat."
I know two vegan mums and their (vegan) kids weaned off early and are very bright, healthy little 5 and 9 year old kids.
And you're a doctor who has examined these children and are in a position to know how healthy they actually are, right? And not just some anonymous coward?
I hear there were some people who wanted to put together a cogent refutation, but they didn't get enough meat during development and they couldn't figure out how to post on Slashdot.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
I'd rather talk to Jehovah's Witnesses than vegans. In my experience they're a lot friendlier than vegan cunts.
