It’s long believed that consumption of meat, especially after the discovery of fire, was integral to our evolution.Sure. But, meat has been a luxury for the vast majority of history. I’m pretty sure I’m not the dumb one here.
By at least 2.6 million years ago, a remarkable expansion in this diet started to occur; some hominins began incorporating meat and marrow from small to very large animals into their diet.
Humanity has been an omnivore since it's beginning. It's not just been the last 200+ years... wow you're dumb.
could have had pouncey...........
Under normal circumstances surewe could have had JJ Watt instead of Locker!

He's right. Most humans were damn near vegan for most of human history. That was because of poverty, not choice. They maybe got a piece of meat on holidays if they were lucky.
They also had much shorter lifespans and were much smaller than modern man. Coincidence? I think not.
Derrick Henry is the early front-runner.Who's gonna be the next Titan we disagree on for the next decade?
I think they try to run him into the ground and let him walk after this season.I was going to put this but DH doesn’t last another 3 years
Hes the only real candidate for this tho.I was going to put this but DH doesn’t last another 3 years
@Tuckfro42 you're wrong. 2.6 million years of being wrong.It’s long believed that consumption of meat, especially after the discovery of fire, was integral to our evolution.

Apparently, I am. Humans have eaten meat at every meal for 2.6 million years. It's weird that so many don't do the same now.@Tuckfro42 you're wrong. 2.6 million years of being wrong.
Is that why you deleted your stupid-zzz post about meat being the reason for longer life expectancy? Moron.His response was one of the dumbest things I've read in a long time.
Your argument was that it was/is a luxury.Apparently, I am. Humans have eaten meat at every meal for 2.6 million years. It's weird that so many don't do the same now.

I don’t know what your definition of luxury is, but we ate enough of it at one point to alter our DNA.
But there’s veganism and then there’s Veganism—the upper case, ideological veganism, the kind that goes beyond diet and lifestyle wisdom to a sort of counterfactual crusade. For this crowd, it has become an article of faith that not only is meat-eating bad for humans, but that it’s always been bad for humans—that we were never meant to eat animal products at all, and that our teeth, facial structure and digestive systems are proof of that.
Not so much.
You are talking mostly medieval and post medieval Europe, which was a giant dump. Which is why the first European explorers were runts compared to Native Americans. And why so many Europeans wanted to migrate.
Being "Vegan" is only possible with agriculture, it is pretty much impossible as a hunter-gatherer society. and there was thousands of years of human life before the advent of agriculture.
Even then, hunter-gatherer societies and nomad herder societies were prominent worldwide for centuries after.
