According to him, meat is not highly nutritious food. In fact, many facets of human harm if eaten. Has become part of the human diet since 2.5 million years ago. Archeological evidence stating it. However, do not necessarily express the human need to eat meat.
Prior to developing agriculture, the most easy for our ancestors to eat the plants that exist or hunting. All types of primates little animal contains many elements in the menu, whether in the form of insects or the other. "The body has the ability to adjust (in food) to varying degrees. If current agricultural technology, health sciences, and nutrition are highly developed so we can more freely choose the food. Unlike our ancestors," said Prasasto on Sunday night.
With his intelligence, health and nutrition experts can develop a menu of vegetable that has a complete element so that a balanced diet should not be interpreted to contain elements of animal. Many studies confirm that eating meat does not benefit from the health, economic, environmental, energy, and food distribution.
"The bottom line is, our mindset should be changed. Evolution develop our intelligence to be able to choose food. We should not choose foods that do not damage the environment. The brain is the result of a great evolution, is not it?" he said.
Like the scientist Albert Einstein said, "Nothing is more beneficial to the health and survival of life on earth except the human evolution to a vegetarian". In essence, our ancestors did not vegetarian but omnivorous (eating everything), but nature gives us the evolution of the brain. "Einstein was thinking about right or wrong? Clearly, Einstein's genius is not it? In addition, everyone also knows that so many diseases the main source of meat," he said.
