Recently, Australia said it is considering to expand exports of agricultural products to China species, including kangaroo meat. Chinese ingredients on the table has always been all-inclusive, but the face of the king Meng Meng da kangaroos, you have to go under the mouth it?
Meng things humans can not refuse, but obviously more difficult to resist the temptation of meat. Grey Kangaroo meat is said to taste delicious, red kangaroo meat is soft texture. BBC there was a report that indigenous Australians in the past regular consumption of kangaroo meat, especially like the grilled kangaroo tail, and kangaroo meat stew with salt pork or a dish together.
According to "China Food Network Development and Trend Report 2013", the people's favorite food mostly meat-based. Words, why people so love to eat meat? If humans do not eat meat, that would be a horse like God in the world? Today, we chat with king One read meat meat of the story.
Meat, only today's human
The long history of human meat to the outrageous, can be traced back almost 340 million years ago Australopithecus era, the time of our ancestors will already have the meat with stone utensils.
Meat not only because of its taste, or human evolution needs. According to "Science Comprehensive Public Library " journal published research, our ancestors has been able to reproduce more offspring, mainly because they are "predators."
Carnivorous make breeding faster, "so that breast-feeding meat to reduce the time, so the interval between each tire becomes shorter."
Dr. Carolyn M Pond in "Life and fat," a book that turned carnivorous time coincided with the hominid fossils cranial cavity increases rapidly coincide. Many anthropologists believe that this relationship is a causal relationship, carnivorous direct result of improved intelligence, so as to pave the way for the evolution of modern people.
Love meat pots faithful, a wood there feel that they do contribute to human evolution?
However, the meat of human history is not easy.
"Lu has heavy" that the good health of the people is "not taste all Jane," "Jane public" refers to fish, birds, animals like animals, the ancients believed such foods to eat more will sluggish stomach digestive function, but also affect the smooth function of the blood, the so-called "public taste Jane charge from the stomach, the stomach is filling big boring, boring the large gas does not reach."
Meat and contrary to the precepts of Buddhism. From the mid-7th century to the 19th century, by the monks profound cultural influence in Japan and perhaps even up to a thousand-year meat ban era. Although not "drop the meat does not stick," but unless absolutely necessary, otherwise the common people who absolutely do not eat bushmeat.
Low levels of productivity in ancient times, the cost of meat is very high, they eat meat Cock wire is not an easy thing. However, it is only in ancient times.
PNAS a "human diets and ecological food chain," the study report on that, with the increase in meat intake, mankind is getting closer to carnivorous animals. Those fast-growing economies, such as China and India are becoming global meat consumption increases the main driving force.
Why not eat meat can not?
Of course, advocating vegetarianism green (gua) color (dan) ways people will refute these views, they will be from healthy, ethical and environmental point of view, advocated vegetarianism.
Yes, as more and more meat, the body does a bit unbearable, but the biochemical science community saying, "On the Danger aside dose bullying" the same applies to meat.
Animal flesh is rich in certain nutrients the body needs, they are not common in plants, most plant foods provide nutrients relatively simple.
For example, eggs, milk, meat protein and amino acid composition is closer to human needs, but also easier to digest, known as "high-quality protein." In common plant food, only soy protein is quality protein, other plant protein amino acids are less able to meet human needs.
In addition, calcium, iron, zinc is relatively easy vegetarian lack of minerals. The most convenient way to intake of calcium is dairy products, and iron and zinc are usually in the meat content is relatively high. Although the presence of these substances in plants also, such as dark green vegetables, calcium and iron, zinc in whole grain products, but they are often intertwined with other molecules phytic acid, is not easily absorbed by the body. There are vitamin B12, this stuff almost exclusively in animal foods.
Anyway, fleshy certain nutrients can not be replaced, so a child my mother used to say, "more meat only effort" is not a lie to you.
If humans do not eat meat, what will happen?
Imagine if humans has been very principled adhere to a vegetarian diet, the world would be like?
First, do not eat meat means difficult for humans to spend the Ice Age. When bad weather plant foods are scarce, pure vegetarians than omnivores harder to adapt to the harsh climate. If there is no meat, it was able to survive in the human population is not too much.
Secondly, the amount of the human brain becomes smaller. Choose vegetarian, the human race would be the way to collect the food mainly, you do not need to use any tools. Humans do not need to find food and use too many strategies and social cooperation, the brain can not evolve, mankind would have been happy to eat leaves and fruit on the tree, swinging, nothing combing each other hair.
Humans may also become a dwarf, because meat can make tall and mighty, but staunch vegetarian would have been afraid to go low.
More seriously, human beings may become vegetarian ruminants, such as cattle, can only register a large number of micro-organisms to break down difficult to chew leaves through the body. Imagine we dug out from the digestive tract with a chew leaves, that picture is so beautiful.
However, Vegetarian human morality may be surprisingly good. Edison once said: "The non-violence leading to the pinnacle of morality, is the goal of all evolution harm if not stop all other life, we still only uncivilized primitive.". Vegetarian Most human compassion and love, because you do not to survive by attacking other animals. Compared to meat eaters community, will greatly reduce the Vegetarian Society desires, greed, sex crimes will be much less. But then again, vegetarian humans can evolve into social status, but also very hard to say ......
According to WHO and FAO report, one hectare of land can feed 22 to eat potatoes and rice to eat 19 people, but only to feed a beef and eat two people eat the sheep. Therefore, in the vegetarian world, the forest coverage rate will be much higher now! Rates of at least a headache for you, do not worry about can not afford a tree.
