Why is it assumed that learning to cooking animals is a necessary hurdle?
When we’re capable of eating animals raw. And bugs and worms etc.
Whereas in order to consume a wider variety of plants, cooking and other more complex perpetrations are absolutely necessary.

- smellsfruity 1mo agoWhich part of my first comment isn’t factually correct?
- defrost 1mo agoThe implication that because humans are "capable of eating animals raw" they therefore must do a lot of that (isolated idiots aside).

- conductr 1mo agoHave to consider meat digestion from a net calorie perspective. Eating raw meat is possible sure. But once you get to dense protein meats like a red meat, your body expends a lot of calories in the act of digesting it raw. Cooking it is like a pre-digestion step and allows your body to digest it with less energy expenditure. It also probably was helpful for other reasons. You could store cooked meat easier/longer without refrigeration or kill off some of the bacteria and such making it healthier.
