This probably doesn't belong here...

I thought I read/heard that we became smart because our brains grew a lot due to eating meat. I realize this sort of change probably took hundreds/thousands of years not over the course of someone's life. Also can't argue the salt/red meat stuff either. I'm just curious if it made our brains grow/possibly lead us to today. Moderation I suppose. I don't want to stroke out at 55.

I don't know for certain but I suspect it may be more due to the calorific density of meat. Grazing on vegetation is a full time activity leaving zero time for other activities. Whereas if you only have to have a single meaty meal in a day you can spending the rest of the day planning your next hunt.

I read somewhere too that the protein is different from a meat-source versus plant source.

I don't know, it's odd to do the "is it right?" thing regarding killing other animals for food when that is how nature operates. Still with the way technology is progressing, I suppose one day you could just build "meat" directly without an "animal". (not a new idea) I don't know I heard some interesting stuff regarding that.

Crazy to think so many people before me were able to conceive so I'm alive today haha. It's my turn, helloooo ladiesss....
