When you in the mirror before walking out your door or gaze at the other upright walking creatures on the streets, you are viewing the modern version of what paleoanthropology refers to as hominin. The academics who study this subject have arrived at a hypnosis’s that shortly after the extinction of half the world species including the dinosaurs, our earliest ancestor was a combo squirrel and mouse creature who lived mostly in trees, the Purgatorius.
It has always been assumed that these creatures were vegan until modern day science has uncovered the mandatory rebuilding of the connective tissue that holds all living creatures together. So from what source did the Purgatorius who lived in the trees and ate fruits, leaves, tree bark and flowers obtain their connective tissue? Modern science has proven neither fruits, flowers or any form of plant tissue contains connective tissue (collagen). Yes, it is possible that the Purgatorius produced internally its’ connective tissue from birth to death as their lifespan would have been relatively short. Modern humans produce their own connective tissue from birth to the age of 25. After 25 years of age connective tissue must come from an out of body sources, animals or insects. Yes, the Purgatorius would have consumed insects present on what it was eating at the time therefore, replacing its depleted connective tissue. Do modern-day Vegans eat the insects on their plant-based foods or are insects incorporated into their veggie burgers?
No one has a rear view mirror or a time machine to go back 65 million years. Therefore, it is all speculation backed up with carbon dating of unearthed fossil evidence. This article is not going to go near the Adam and Eve story or revolution. This article is to look at Veganism as a growing and dangerous lifestyle which will cause premature death to those who practice it, however, not before costing the other members of society, the non-vegans in the hundreds of millions who will be ultimately financially responsible to keep them alive once their health fails them. This negative outcome will only be realized if they avoid both animal and insect consumption to maintain a healthy human body.
Three key questions surround modern day Veganism:
1) Is Veganism Self Imposed Ignorance?
2) Did a Form of Veganism Exist 2.6 Million Years Ago and what happened to the participants?
3) Could Modern Day Veganism Lead Its’ Followers to Extinction?
From which economic class do the modern day people who pick up the Vegan Flag and runs across the Carnivore battlefield condemning the consumption of ALL animal products and avoidance of all animal by-products. Interesting a majority of these people are often from families with means. It’s similar to the protester driving their Hummer (14.5 Km/9 Miles per 4.5 Litres/Imp Gal of gasoline) to protest the use of those evil greenhouse gas produced by the consumption of fossil fuel-based resources. There are many examples of this type of human behaviour throughout recorded human history.
Generally, to eat what is referred to as a healthy plant-based diet requires fresh plant material that has to be trucked long distances to your food retail outlet. Yes, if you live in California, many plants are being transported from Central and South America between harvest period in that region. Thus, to eat fresh plant material requires that you are a member of the top end of the middle class. Otherwise, you are eating out of cans and how is this healthy?
If you tack on the marketing terms “natural”, “organic”, “whole foods”, the products in these categories instantly become financially out of reach for many consumers even those considered as belonging to the middle class. Or maybe these terms have been so overused that they are now just meaningless marketing ploys, a con on the ignorant to make you pay for more but get less. Soda manufacturers have started to make their retail serving sizes smaller, however, have not reduced their pricing to match the smaller size. This is widely becoming accepted as they are doing this to benefit their customers! By no means, a new concept as fast food chains have been doing this for decades. A hamburger has remained relatively inexpensive. However, it is considerably smaller in size than the same burger from the same fast food outlet of 1980.
We must not disregard the FEAR factor (false evidence appearing real). By creating fear and a false negative. These food marketing industry people have convenience the North American population that most food is grown in toxic environments and eating these foods cause disease, deformities and premature death. Just look at the bottle water scare and the consumption of water that is perceived to be better than city tap water. And from what source do most food manufacturers draw the water that they use directly in their products or to clean the raw materials going into their products – guest it, city tap water.
If you believe that a product purchased from a Health or Natural Food Store is of a greater health benefit than from a pharmacy you have bought into the natural food conspiracy hook, line and sinker. When a product is purchased from a pharmacy setting, there is generally an oversight that forces the manufacturer to live up to the claims made on the product packaging. However, the exact opposite is true when a consumer purchases a natural product which can carry outrageous claims on the outside of the packaging and the producer’s face no penalty, for the false claims as it is “natural”. An escape clause, results can vary from person to person.
When it comes to natural or organic, most consumers do not engage with the manufacturers as they would with conventionally marketed treatments for similar outcomes. What is the extraction method for all the ingredients? What is the carbon footprint left behind to get these natural raw materials? Were known toxins used for the extraction of these natural ingredients? How clean was the water used in the production of these natural ingredients? Are there any clinical studies to back up the claims made on the product packaging? This author does not have any affiliations’ nor family members in the regulatory, retail, wholesale or food manufacturing industry sectors. Just an awareness that people are being sold “bovine faecal matter” and paying a premium price for empty words!
Let’s be clear. Everything is chemical. The “all of everything” on this planet is represented by a configuration of chemical bonds made from atoms. The periodic table of elements is as of 2019 comprised of 118 chemical elements of which the modern-day human is made from 25. Most people choose not to understand science, and thus they are easily conned and manipulated due to the fact they have left the science to those people who get it and enjoy speaking on the subject. They have deliberately shut down the part of their brain that filters out “B.S.” and thus they have given away their power to heal themselves and run to the doctor for the simplest of issues.
A growing number of both academics and non-academics have been digesting a false negative for decades. If you say something false over and over again, eventually it is believed to be the truth. Thus, the consumption of good food is best from sources categorized as natural, organic and whole foods. Yes, these terms are for the delusional people among us who will die prematurely with a multitude of self-inflicted diseases that will cost endless days of lost work, hospitalization and expensive home care.
Veganism is another branch of this same misguided thinking that will have financial consequences to any society that allows this small segment of the population to go unchecked. If the society in which they live lacks paid by the government universal health care, just leave them alone as they will die of disease much earlier as what they consider as a healthy way to eat is just the opposite.
The Vegan also must take supplements to provide many of the micro-nutrients that the Carnivore brings into their body from the consumption of animal meat or animal by-products they consume. The argument for this lifestyle has been to reduce greenhouse gases and make the earth and its overall resources more sustainable. The truth is that by adopting this lifestyle is more about misguided emotions than logic, as there is zero scientific evidence that a Vegan (or Vegetarian) lifestyle is any more beneficial to the longevity of both the human and plant than consumption of animals or animal by-products.
Voluntary veganism is not new and is believed to have started approximately 2.6 million years. Speculation based on fossil carbon dating indicates that our hominin ancestors were in two groupings, the Homo and the Australopiths. The Homo ate meat and evolved into modern humans with its body adapting to the new fuel intake. The Australopiths ate large quantities of lower-quality plants and ended up extinct, most likely due to lack of connective tissue. As the earth started to warm up the resources of plant material, they ate disappeared, and they had to go long distances to find it. Yes, self-imposed ignorance has already been tested, and the results lead to a segment of our human forerunner’s extinction.
Let’s face it the word Vegan is much simpler than Australopiths to remember; however, Vegans have not learned the lessons from the past. This is why this article is entitled, “Veganism could be more than 65 Million Years Old and is Still a very bad idea”.
This author personally feels that being a Vegan has similar consequences to parents who do not allow their children to be vaccinated as in the case with measles as the rumour that it causes autism. New research is showing that Autism may be caused due to the lack of three gut bacteria groups also known as the gut microbiota. This same research is showing that pregnant women who get a server infection while carrying child have a 66% chance of delivery an autistic child. Why these three gut floras were most likely killed by the antibiotic ingested while the baby was developing within the mother. Yes, could the cure for autism be growing these bacteria outside the body and reintroducing them which has already been accomplished for producing more serotonin?
The goal of a vegan is to avoid the consumption and use of any product or by-product made from animals. Here is a short list of some standard products used by many upright two-legged thinking animals. By the way, how does the T1D (type one diabetic) deals with the issue that it takes 26 harvest beef cattle pancreases to supply them with insulin for one year of ongoing life? They will inject insulin but will not eat the meat of animals. In my books, you are either all in or call yourself a non-vegan, maybe a vegetarian?

Looking at the list above how is it possible to avoid ALL ANIMAL products. It is always interesting that as a country’s wealth grows so does its people desire to devourer more animal products and by-products. Humans are animals, and we survived because we elected to eat meat, unlike the other family branch who 2.6 million years ago didn’t and well they went extinct. This author thinks having vegans in society is a good idea as it will leave more meat to be consumed by the rest of us.
Watch for the next instalment on this theme which asks why the Indigenous People of the North consume next to zero plant-based foods (direct carbohydrate intake) and overall are healthier than the people living south who eat green and still get diseases that the Northern do not. Yes, it is time to look why eating has become so complicated looking at two different social structures that eat off the land not prepared and processed food from the local grocery store. Watch for the article entitled, Hint – the secret to good health is an abundance of gut flora, yes could it really be that simple?
God bless the misguided Vegans as they eat their plants, and wait for their bodies to fall apart under the weight of their ignorance. All we can ask is that they slip away without financially burdening the rest of society with the associated medical cost that will eventually be required to treat the avoidable illnesses that will befall them.
