Meat digestion

[Nau7ik]

Why does it matter if it's natural? I have vision problems so I wear glasses. Are those "natural"? Does it matter?

It doesn't matter, but it's unnecessary, and it is what it is. Speaking of diet and not switching topics - If your body does not need meat, if it's not meant or able to consume it without modifying it until it is tasty, edible, and not poisonous. Then why do we eat it in the first place? Several opinions arise. We eat meat because it's tasty, and because we've been taught to. Both of which could rise an eyebrow if one cares for themselves/other-selves/or animals. So if we don't need meat, if we are intelligent enough and are capable of making alternatives, being the most advanced species on this planet. Shouldn't we try? Isn't it our responsability at least to? We ease the suffering of animals, we ease on green house effects that over population of farm animals causes, we ease on space to make more crops therefore feed more mouths, and we ease on our bodies.

Yes I totally agree! We have been “learning the ways of love” and now the moral question of eating meat is raised for many of us. But that doesn’t mean that our initial eating of meat was wrong. It aided our evolution. All things are one, and that’s the nature of animal world: eating and being eaten. Is it “natural” that living beings have to eat other living beings in order to survive? Apparently so. There’s a different kind of morality in nature compared to human morality. Nature is red in tooth and claw. But we as late 3D humans, can contemplate the morality of killing animals for food and find new ways if we are trouble by it. Lately I am eating a lot less meat and replacing it with meat substitutes, etc. I actually feel more at ease eating it than I do meat because I always have a kind of ambivalence about eating meat. It tastes good but it’s also gross to think about and to look at.

So i think it was natural that man realized cooking meat and food in general provides better sustenance than raw food. Meat has energy and nutrients; early man needed that energy for survival. Cooked meat (hunting) provided that.

On another related note, the native Americans when they hunted the bison, said that they used all parts of the animal that they killed. Nothing was wasted. That is a respectful attitude towards nature and the animal.

We can choose other, less harmful ways to eat food and sustain ourselves, I fully agree with that. But earlier man had far less options than we modern day men do. It was a necessity for many developing cultures.
