Much grazing (grasses that is). And another difference from apes. They eat fruit. We are omnivorous.-http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/06/130603163749.htm

Funny how well that lines up with the biblical account, where humans originally ate 'seed bearing fruits' and animals were given the 'leafy plants'. It wasn't until after the fall that there is any mention of farming/grains being eaten, and not until Enoch that we start seeing much in the way of meat eating. Hrmmm

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
Evolution: We are what we eat

We evolved eating whatever was available. We are what we eat, and the paleolithic diet shaped how we handle food. The Black population forced to come to America still has trouble solving the Western diet and show it with high blood pressure and this results in 80% of dialysis patients being Black.

I'm afraid I'm struggling to understand why this is so important!-It's not. Most apes like fruit and other veggies. Meat is not much of an issue with them. We became meat hunters about 500,000 years ago. Our diest differs from theirs a great deal.
