Veganism

Does it? I mean surely if we were adapted to eat meat we would be adapted to kill our prey? We really have little evidence to support the fact we evolved to kill. Despite intelligence, our bodies are hardly conditioned to catch prey. Meat consumption was most likely easier for early humans, taking into account their little, or no, understanding of cultivation. It makes sense that as a species it's something we have accepted as easier, despite now knowing we can grow our own food. I'm not saying we should all stop eating meat, I just feel we should have less killing...

Thankfully one day there will be no killing, as we will be growing all our meat;)

Here's a picture of me catching my prey. I went at night and grabbed it whilst it was asleep. I then slit it's throat with a knife. Poured boiling water on it and removed the feathers. I then gutted it, and put it in the fridge.
I seem to be pretty well adapted to do this.

Maybe because of this.

Consumption of more animal foods with early Homo was likely important for providing
high levels of key long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (docosahexaenoic acid and
arachidonic acid) that are necessary for brain growth.

I think we might have adapted quite well to catch and kill our food
