It would be interesting to find out what, if anything, happens to Chimps when
they are placed on a all meat or high diet.

If nothing adverse happens to the chimps, then we would know for sure that meat
is safe for us, since we are even better adapted to it.  And if the chimps did
develop problems, then we would have an idea what ill effects too much meat
might have in some people.

Because right now that vegans imply that meat is somehow bad, and without facts,
it is hard to argue with them.
