A certain OSHAWA said the same thing fifty years ago. I don't know how
recent a discovery is the argument of the similitude of proteins... But
basically what the founder of macrobiotics said was that, as far as RAF is
concerned, we are necessarily more adapted to the oldest species than to the
newest ( he used it as an argument to exclude red meat from macro but to
accept fish as a source of protein ). This made much sense to me even before
I became an instincto.  Personally I eat mammal meat once or twice in the
year. An attitude which, I guess, gives me some affinity with the vegans
which were thrown out of the list earlier on...

I concur. Burger never showed the slightest interest in eating insects,
which could be then  found by the handful ( thanks to Bruno) when his wife
was still alive. If you'd asked him about eating insects before the death of
his wife, he would have certainly eshown some sign of impatience. But his
wife having passed the guy certainly thought hard to try and  find some good
reasons to explain her death to the external world (for the internal world,
it was not necessary to find arguments, since he had convinced everybody
that his wife was the embodiment of Satan , or close...). Bruno's departure
from Montramé certainly gave him excellent reasons to recuperate his ideas
(or rather the ideas Bruno had taken from somebody else...).
