    I suppose you just have to be lucky enough to have evolved with four stomachs full of the right microbes to convert the grass to proteins.

    It kind of explains why veganism isn't natural for humans. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    This explains the boom in fruit and vegetable shops in Springbank all selling the same stuff with tons of it left at the end of the day unsold.

    What definitely isn’t natural for humans is drinking other animals breast milk.

    adult humans drinking milk is pretty silly, but drinking another animals milk is even weirder

    Well, the have been doing it since time began so it seems more unnatural to drink the alternatives made artificially which have only been around for a short time. Some of which are less beneficial than animal milk. Seen animals providing milk humans drink from udders, but not breasts. Which are they?

    Pfft, I spot the game. Shifting to milk because the meat argument's lost. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Not that many cave drawings of them hunting apples.

    That was the argument?!

    Being vaguely serious I do think we've evolved to eat meat, but just not in the quantities that people tend to (I just choose not to because it makes me healthier, personally, and if anyone wants to stop to minimise suffering to animals then its easy to do ) . I don't think milk from other animals is good for us though as there are plenty of ways to get all of the nutrition in milk and there's so much medication pumped into cows I think it should be avoided. I also think the dairy industry is the cruelest of all animal product manufacture though so I accept that maybe tainting my view.

    So dairy farming has two far apart extremes there is the American feedlot type where cattle in their thousands are for the most part kept indoors and the more typical European way of cattle grazing the hillside where it's not viable to grow anything but grass. As there is no NHS or benefit system for cattle all medicines have to be paid for so I don't think our farmers are pumping them full of expensive medicines needlessly but only when absolutely necessary.
