Actually, our intestines are more similar to herbivores than to carnivores. A vegetarian diet is healthier than a meat-eating diet, altho small quantities of animal-products used to be essential for certain nutrients (nowadays, those can be gotten from vitamins). Also, the environmental argument is accurate - it takes less land to support a vegetarian than a meat-eater. But, I just like chicken and fish far too much to give those up. :-) -- "If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore, and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God!" - Ralph Waldo Emerson "Glassín wafilái pigasyúv táv pifyániivav nadusakyáavav sussyáiyatantu wawailáv ku suslawayástantu ku usfunufilpyasváditanva wafpatilikániv wafluwáiv suttakíi wakinakatáli tiDikáufli!" - nLáf mÁldu nÍmasun ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTailor
