I’m afraid I’m failing to connect the dots. How do you see this being related to veganism, and how do you see researching this making an impact?
One common argument against veganism is that humans are carnivores. We aren’t. We are designed to eat cooked food.
I see. My personal intuition is that it wouldn’t convince many people. I mean, cooked food includes cooked meat. So, unfortunately, their argument that we have evolved to have meat in our diets still stands.
