Yet eating meat was not a necessity for their survival. Even chimpanzees, our closest relative, hunt to kill and eat other animals such as bush pigs, monkeys and small antelopes. You don’t respect Mother Nature. There’s a natural order of life. Overtime this deteriorates into narcissism, egotism and dogmatism about not eating meat. Perhaps that’s why you can’t logically decide to switch back anymore. As a vegan you’re slowly losing this higher processing power once afforded by meat. Bigger brains made it possible for us to morally decide not to kill animals. Dense in energy and easy to digest, meat (especially when cooked) provided the fuel for evolving a big brain. You’re not thinking properly. How did man, unlike animals, evolve the cognitive capacity to consider the ethics of eating animals? Part of the answer is …by eating animals. It’s evil! By default, if you’re a vegan, well then you’re evil too. WTF?! I tell you, stay away from veganism. Lo and behold my blood pressure normalised. I consumed lots of meat, fat, eggs and salt.
Then suddenly when training for an Ironman I decided to get my body use to burning fat as a fuel instead of glycogen. Ugh! Hypertension continued into my 30’s. But to balance things out I had more bread, rice and pasta, and upped my fruit intake. I cut out saturated fats, including eggs. In my 20’s I exercised a lot, didn’t smoke, didn’t drink much, and was in pretty good shape.
