Ah, do I detect a moral problem here? Eating pretty Bambi AND it's milk! If
I remember right that is one of the thing that is forbidden in jewish
eating, cosher. Eating the calf and milk at the same meal.
Is it more comfortble to think that the animals that were cought were defect
in some way, not just young. Of course these young ones often were defect in
some way and therefor the easiest among the easy to catch.
Taking down deer of any kind must have cost an enourmous amount of calories
and I believe that they didn't throw away anything that they did not die of
immediatly. So "tummy cheese" would have gone down during more than 300.000
generations of developement.
Give me one reason why they would not have eaten it during the time when our
evolutionary adaptation took place.
