Casey, while it's true that people have been eating animal protein since the beginning, I wouldn't say it's what we are "meant" to do. Diets back then were mostly vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, etc. Meat was pretty rare to get since our ancestors had to actually chase down their meal. Aside from white meat and seafood, animal protein's pretty rough on our system. Maybe we weren't "meant" to be eating it, but we do 'cause it tastes good?

Chelsea, people have been eating animal proteins since the beginning of time. Naturally it's what we are meant to do.

"No meat? Not gonna happen."

It actually should happen. Animal proteins are notoriously high in saturated fat, which, from a health standpoint, is not good. There are millions of vegetarians and vegans, its not that hard. And it makes you feel fantastic.
