You still missed my point. Whether these modern day Africans laugh at me for my suggestions or "fact" statements, whether they have time to debate the moral, health, or other issues involved when eating meat, or whether they have to work harder to get by in life, or whatever else, my point remains the same.

HUMAN BEINGS ARE NOT MADE TO DIGEST ANIMAL FLESH!! Just because you eat meat because you the like the taste of it; or because you have no other food source available; or just because this is the way yo mama dem raised you, it doesn't change the fact that you, as a human being, was not designed to eat meat.

As I stated before, you can eat it for whatever reason you want to eat it, and it really doesn't matter to me. Just don't try to con folks into believing that somehow, meat eating is healthy.

It's believable that you know some people who ate meat all of their lives and lived past 100. I can believe that. But just imagine how much longer they could've lived had they stayed off of the animal flesh.

I know some people who have lived very long lives, and they had eaten meat all of their lives. I gotta say that the quality of life for most of these folks was not the best in the world. Suffering their last days with high blood pressue and cholestorol, diabetes, arthritis and other diseases that can often be linked to meat eating. It did/does not have to be that way.

Of course, eating meat in moderation is better than being a gluttonous meat eater, but not eating it at all is even better.
