Firstly, apparently human meat has the taste and texture of beef, except a little sweeter but despite it being seemingly "yummy" I wouldn't want to eat it. Secondly, the early ancestors of modern humans, from at least 4 million years ago, followed diets almost exclusively of plant-foods. Beginning at least 250,000 years ago, many of the hunter-gatherer societies consumed meat as a large part of their diet. However, more recently, over the past 12,000 years of agricultural development, people’s diets have been mostly based upon starches, like rice in Asia, corn in North America, potatoes in western parts of South America, wheat in Europe and Northern Africa.
But the fact is that we are omnivorous and can eat meat but it is certainly not healthy (we are not capable of metabolizing cholesterol in meat and therefore risk heart disease the more we eat) nor is it natural. This is best evident when comparing our teeth with primates who have basically vegetarian diets. We humans also don't have claws and I could go on for hours on this topic but simply ask yourself would you be capable of jumping on a large cow, knocking it to the ground and taking a large bite from its rear hind? Of course not, why? Because you are not a carnivore.
"would you be capable of jumping on a large cow, knocking it to the ground and taking a large bite from its rear hind?"
With these wonderful things called tools we are. You could make the same argument about living in cold climates or even using the internets or flying. And hell, our closest living relatives, chimpanzees, eat termites and hunt other animals for food.
And human flesh tastes more like pork, not beef.
How about trying this...not trying to force your life style on other people and we won't try to convince you to eat meat?
You are a dumbass liberal tree hugger. You even believe that the world is 4 million years old which strengthens my statement. Meat has PROTEIN. That's good for you.

Seriously dude, this is a GADGET website.
Not somewhere to spread your views on things OTHER than GADGETS.
No one cares. Stop trying to convince people what to do.
