CoinGeneral, you're so misinformed that I think you need to take a step back and rethink everything you've said so far.

I only read the first few pages since this thread is pretty long now, but I think I've got the gist of what is being said here. First of all, you have NO IDEA how much irony is being spewed from your mouth.

That comparison chart of atheists/ vegans vs christians / meat-eating is the most retarded chart ever and only a person with extreme views would use such a an example to prove a point. It's beyond straw-man and is just dumb.

You don't think there are vegan christians or meat-eating atheists?  That disproves your whole chart; it had no basis to even exists as an argument. You're literally grouping non-existent ideas and putting them forward as an argument.

I spent a good week or so reading and reading and even emailed the great Gary Yourosky. After one email reply from him he stopped answering me. It was unfortunate because I had so many questions and he said his site (which DID provide a lot of answers) that he didn't even bother to respond after I had a full essay of questions afterwards.

I also spent a good amount of time watching videos from "freelee banana girl" and watching "durianrider" videos where they take in something crazy like 10,000 calories a day and are still skin and bones thin. It was really interesting and I was fascinated how it worked. I read a lot of different conclusions online; most of them had to do with our body not being able to take in all the calories due to the fiber and others stated it had to do with all the endurance exercise they did as well.

None the less, my conclusion was that the human body is exceptional and can ADAPT when it needs to. Whether paleo, vegan or just bread and water for the week. The human body can get what it needs when it has nothing else to take from.

If meat was SO bad for humans and if our bodies were not evolved for eating meat then we would simply be sick very soon after eating meat every time. Which obviously isn't the case.

If our stomach were not meant for meat then our bodies would reject it. Yet the human body has a stomach ph level of around 1.5 to 3.5 and the intestinal length required to fully digest it.

I've been eating meat my whole life (only 22 years albeit) and I'm doing just fine. I have no bowel problems and pass stool just fine and I feel energetic in the morning blah blah blah.

You also forgot one important aspect about humans. We are at the top of the food chain because of our brains. Our intelligence is what allowed us to cook food, preserve food, and use technology to enhance food production for our sake.

Humans have been eating meat for hundreds of thousands of years and without killing animals it could be argued that humans may not have survived the ice age. Animals provided clothing, weapons and food.
