>Huh???????? The huge human brain is over half fat by nutrient analysis--so
is a cow's tiny brain for that matter. Where are these numbers from????????
No reference, of course.

I don't know - I assume he's referring to daily brain cell turnover, which
would be minute, and key to his point.

>So why didn't every animal on Earth evolve a big brain?

why didn't carnivores evolve a big brain? as compared to herbivores? or did
they?

do you not believe that social organization issues were a contributor
to brain growth?

you didn't address a couple issues, one being that the brain is not
bigger, but the body is smaller (or something like that)

>And is
irrelevent to any argument correlating the expansion of the human brain
with
animal foods, which is clearly correlated.

I don't see where that is correlated.
a lot of conjecture about dietary makeup and brain size over time.
It is certainly not clearcut or causal in my mind at all.

>I'll not be wasting more time "critiquing" vegan-edge stuff. It has its
audience...

thanks for taking the time,
