I would love to see that. What I think you missed is the widely held belief that Man was created with fire in one hand and a spear in the other. Unless you want to believe that Man lived like jackals in the beginning, only eating flesh that was slow enough and sick enough to happen upon, I will stand by natural evolution and say it was impossible in the beginning. Even if it was not, then you have to accept that you are now at the bottom of the rung species wise, only having strength through reliance on technology and numbers, not brains or brawn.
I watched a nice show about a guy roughing it in the wild. He definitely had the will, but did not have the capability of the way. He was surrounded by flora and fauna, but believed he could only exist on animal matter. So even though he had a knife and emergency rations, he was pretty much starving from spending too much time hunting for porcupines which were the only thing slow enough for him to get close to. Instead of just eating what he had around him he wussed out and called for pickup in half the time that he advertised.
As I said earlier, it is a sick mind that ignores fruit hanging on a tree while salivating looking at an animal. If you see a cow eating flesh do you consider it normal? Or is it that it has not gone on long enough yet for society to believe it is completely normal? It is not natural or healthy, whether it applies to mind, body, or spirit. It is simply a result of programming by culture and society. The concept of programming the ego has been established since before the bible and Jesus brought it up himself in the most obvious text in the bible “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
I am not trying to convince you not to eat meat, You can eat your whole family and it would not bother me. What bothers me is when the wool is pulled over your eyes yet feeling the need to propagate that falsehood. Not you specifically of course, but any and all.

For now, my point is that, in both cases where meat was mentioned, Ra seemed to attach a caution to it. It would have been uncharacteristic for Ra to bluntly say, "don't eat dead animals" because that was left up to the individual to discern.The answers have to do with the capability of the person to acquire the correct foods. Such as, no advice on a food that can not be easily had in her area. And no real info that may cause undo stress.
Almost a beating around the bush in a way, with the recipient expected to discern the truth if ready for it. I know someone else like that, a person that does his work in the astral realm, nobody understands his answers because they are not ready or mature enough.
BTW, I have heard a lot of guff about vegans having to go back to meat after so many years because of deficiencies. Somehow my wife has gone 35 years without any need of B12 supplementation and only supplemented while breast feeding. Yes we have raw kids, who never get sick or sunburn for some reason.
