Wes, I'm curious, why do you consider dairy more "pure" than meat?

Also, if you believe that raw animal protein is important, then I assume you
agree that humans have been eating meat for some amount of their evolutionary
past - as dairy was not farmed until neolithic times.

Assuming that you do, and that humans are therefore well adapted to eating
meat, do you believe that meat has always been "impure", or that it has only
become so in recent times with all the hormone and antibiotic injection and
toxic chemical pollution and all that stuff?

I believe it is the vegans who avoid all animal-derived foods, usually
including honey. The alternative would be "ovo-lacto vegetarian"
