    Right, but then again, nor do we require transportation. Or education. Or religion. Or countries. Or houses. Or electricity. Or science. Or many other things. We're way past the point of acquiring things for the sole reason of survival.

    Studies apparently suggest that hunting for, eating and preparing/cooking meat helped enlarge said brains:

    I think they managed to get the texture right, although it apparently tasted horrible. For now, it's probably also incredibly expensive, but the price will eventually go down anyway.

    Wait, do you mean the part where we have large brains? As for the survival thing, I think that at least tigers can survive on vegetation for a while, but of course, they're not built for such a diet, and will need to switch back to their regular carnivore diet as soon as possible.

    a friend of my brother vent on a diet where he ate almost no meat.
    he became dangerously skinny.
    its stupid to stop eating meat for health reasons, because there are certain proteins that are only present in meat.
