Yeah, we the only animals with the stupid gene!
I belive even Saint Ray has mentioned this. It simply comes down to the fact in a survival situation, you cannot get enough protein. The energy/reward thing is a big factor in this.
and on that matter ray, even though he has consumed far more than his sahre, is incorrect
a adult (assuming not pregnant or breast feeding) needs just 45-55 grams of protein daily for tissue repair etc. some nutritionists argue that we cannot process into usable aminos, more than that and we just excrete the rest (some further argue its damaging). adults simply do not need much protien as we are no longer growing (unless you are a body builder growing muscle bulk or an athelte needing tissue repair)
what we need as adults is carbs, fats and sugars, basically calories........ fat has 2-3 times the calorific value of protein, starches such as potatoes, root veg, sago etc has similar calorific value as proteins however we can make use of all that carb by conversion into glucose (the bodies fuel)
Seen the thing about Prairie Dogs, and language. Really interesting for the people who say both.
nope, please share
