the day 'my' diet destroyed the planet.
in saying this i need to offer up a qualifier, since i no longer engage in dining off of non-human animal remnants...the *my* is in reference to the diet of a large number of the human animal.
we are not carnivores. we are, at best, omnivores which, due to the amazing foresight of nature and evolution, equipped us with the ability to digest carrion in times where our real food was scarce. our bodies are not designed to ingest or process animal flesh or their fluids, other than in the short term and, as nomadic creatures, there were times obviously when foods were scarce.
this is the reality of our kind. the problems arose when two things occured, the first being that we stoppped being nomadic, to a great extent, and the second was when we decided that we could manipulate the lands surrounding us to suit our new-found needs, or perhaps more accurately-desires. both of these posturings of ours have directly and critically impacted on this planet...our home.
