Why did humans start eating meat?
It must have felt unnatural at first, to
eat animal flesh. After all, we’re not so far removed from animals ourselves.
Perhaps it even felt cannibalistic. There might not have been that much
intellectual distinction between humans and other animals. When humans were
pure vegetarians, they were living in harmony with the earth and with the other
creatures co-habiting the planet with them. Their closest animal relatives,
apes, were vegetarians. Eating the products of the earth, like plants, grains
and fruits that they could gather and eat would have seemed the natural order
of things.
But necessity is the mother of invention.
Prehistoric men who lived in frozen geographies, or who lived in an area that
became devastated by fire, would have eaten anything to survive. Just like the
soccer players whose plane crashed in the mountains of Chile, and were forced
to eat the flesh of other players who died in the crash, earliest man at some
point had to make the choice for survival, and that could have consuming meat
for the first time and changing human history – and health – forever.
We can imagine that men first ate meat that
had been charred or cooked by virtue of being caught in a natural forest fire.
They might have subsequently eaten raw meat, if necessary, but we can also
imagine that our earliest digestive systems rebelled against eating raw meat.
Imagine having eaten raw foods and
vegetables for eons, and all of a sudden, incorporating meat products into your
system. You may have heard friends who were vegetarians tell stories of trying
to eat meat and becoming violently ill afterwards.
Biologists will tell you we’re really not
designed to eat meat, but we adapted to it. However, in the timeline of human
history, eating meat is a relatively recent evolutionary development.

How Should I Plan Going On A Diet?
At the end of every festive season it is not uncommon to hear people telling each other that it is time to go on a diet. After all, they have eaten and drank to excess during the holidays and the net result has been the addition of some much unwanted extra weight. This does, however, beg the question: Have the given proper consideration to planning how (and if) they should go on a diet.
Before you go on any diet you really need to be asking yourself the following questions:
- do I really need to go on a diet, or do I just need to be a little more disciplined about my eating habits?
- would doing a little extra regular work-outs make more sense than not working-out at all, but eating less?
- if I go on my diet, is my body going to be receiving sufficient minerals and vitamins to sustain itself?
Keep in mind that large numbers of people go on diets who do not really need to do so, but are doing so simply to comply with some warp believe that the world expects everyone to look thin. In fact it could be quite counter-productive to go on a diet, if your body is not going to be receiving its required vitamin and mineral intake to replace those naturally lost during the day.
As a result of the above, before you decide to go on any diet, you might benefit from knowing that the most successful people at losing weight after the festive session are not necessarily those who go on crash diets, but more likely those who increase (or start) their regular exercise program and how eat three healthy square meals a day. However, if you are thinking of embarking on a diet, don’t risk doing any further harm to your body by making sure you take vitamin and mineral supplements to replace those lost during a normal day.
