This is wrong. Humans are designed to be omnivores. The human body
is designed to eat vegetable *and* animal food. Live and promote
a vegetarian lifestyle for "ethical" and/or health reasons if you wish,
but deliberate misinformation will only hurt your cause.

Me, I'm a happy omnivore. I don't drink milk or eat milk products
because I believe that the enzymes and proteins are meant only
for the young of the animal species producing the milk. You'll
never see animals in the wild drinking the milk of another species,
but you will, often, see species eating the meat of other species.
Personally, I'm on a Paleo Diet (Neanderthin) and eat only meat,
poultry, fish, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds. I eat nothing
that is inedible without technology, which includes dairy, which
is why I'm on this list. You're on it for your own reasons and
I think we should leave it at that.

There will be no Paleo vs. Vegan flamewars here, I promise.
But please, quit with the misinformation.
