ALEC BALDWIN is A IDIOT, It is nature intent for man to eat aminials, GOD I LOVE THAT T BONE, YUM YUM YUM
You just called someone an idiot, yet you can’t even use correct grammar yourself. Since “idiot” starts with a vowel, the correct article would be “an,” not “a.” Before you insult someone, learn how to do it without asking for it to backfire.
P.S. It is a genetic mutation for man to be able to digest animal products, and our teeth and digestive system are that of an herbivore, not an omnivore, so no, it is not nature’s intent for man to eat animals.
It never ceases to surprise me people who choose to stay ignorant to what is happening on the planet today.
Man is evolving and leaving “his” barbaric nature behind. Many on the planet see this today and hence this accounts for the amazing increase and continued rise in vegetarians and vegans.
There is no excuse for what we are doing to these animals, our planet and never mind our health. The health statistics on obesity, overweight, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis and cancer, among other things, speak for themselves.
The tides are turning and it is a beautiful time in history to be alive – thanks for this article and info!
