Let’s be healthy herbivores

RE: Humans and diet

We can learn a lot by taking a closer look at the animal kingdom. For instance, take the herbivores. Their vegetation diet called for a fairly narrow immune system that kept the animals healthy their entire lives. When we come to the carnivores, here again a narrow immune system was enough to keep these animals healthy. Then we have humans, which are omnivores. We eat everything, which includes all of the junk that comes from the chemical companies. Now we require a very wide immune system which, unfortunately, we don’t have. Prescription drugs, injections from an early age, are all meant to boost the immune system. But still all kinds of disease-causing pathogens sneak past to make us a very unhealthy race. Since we don’t have the bodies to be carnivores, let’s take the only path left. Let’s be herbivores and leave the animals alone. Let’s get back to being healthy. Irene Miller, Hamilton
