[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 77516515, member: 123415"] I think what makes this a somewhat unique conversation is that of all the mammalian species (even other ones that are very similar to us), we don't tend to have these conversations about "what is the best diet?" and "What works for one person may not work for another" For instance, we'd never say "for some lions a diet of all meat works well, for others they do better when eating mostly plants" So I'm skeptical of the claims people make where they say "vegetarianism works better for some humans, and others do better on a primarily animal-based diet" Clearly someone has the right answer. When you boil it down, it's basically making the claim that "of all the vast array of species on the planet, we're the only one that has a such drastic intra-species diversity in terms of of the optimal animal/plant ratio" Granted, omnivorous species can "survive" for quite a while on a wide variety of ratios, and health scenarios that would've normally killed us "in the wild" no longer have to thanks to some modern medicine (for instance, a person whose diet lacks in one thing or another can take a vitamin or supplement), but "survive" & "optimal" are still two different things in regards to the aforementioned ratio.
