    <description>&lt;P&gt;"Only those fossilized bones with butchery marks can confidently be tied to hominin diet (Blumenschine &amp;amp; Pobiner 2006)&lt;U&gt;. The earliest well-accepted evidence for this novel dietary behavior comes from about 2.6 Ma at the site of Gona, Ethiopia (Domínguez-Rodrigo&amp;nbsp;et al.&amp;nbsp;2005). Probably not coincidentally, it's also around this time that we start to see the first evidence of archaeologically visible accumulations of stone tools (Semaw&amp;nbsp;et al.2003).&lt;/U&gt; There may be evidence of hominin-butchered bones at 3.4 Ma at Dikika, Ethiopia (McPherron&amp;nbsp;et al.&amp;nbsp;2010), where&amp;nbsp;Australopithecus afarensisremains have been found, but this evidence consists of only a few bone specimens and has been disputed (Domínguez-Rodrigo&amp;nbsp;et al.&amp;nbsp;2010). The earliest well documented evidence of persistent hominin&amp;nbsp;carnivory&amp;nbsp;from&amp;nbsp;in situ&amp;nbsp;excavated fossil&amp;nbsp;fauna&amp;nbsp;occurring in association with large concentrations of stone tools is at about 2.0 Ma at Kanjera, Kenya (Ferraro&amp;nbsp;et al.&amp;nbsp;2013). In addition to terrestrial animals, evidence from one site at Koobi Fora shows that hominins began to incorporate aquatic foods like turtles, crocodiles, and fish into their diets by about 1.95 Ma (Braun&amp;nbsp;et al.2010). Multiple localities at Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania, dating to 1.8 Ma also show evidence of&amp;nbsp;in situ&amp;nbsp;butchered mammal remains, ranging in size from hedgehogs to elephants; these are also associated with large numbers of stone tools (Domínguez-Rodrigo et al. 2007; Blumenschine &amp;amp; Pobiner 2006 and references therein). Three sites at Koobi Fora, Kenya, preserve evidence of several butchered mammals from about 1.5 Ma but are not found in association with any stone tools (Pobiner&amp;nbsp;et al.&amp;nbsp;2008). Perhaps this signals a shift toward intentional specialization of activities, such as animal butchery and stone tool making, in different areas across the landscape.

      <description>&lt;P&gt;well, they would be suffering anyway. one less meat eater in the world makes no difference. if it makes you feel good though, I do feel guilty about it. lol.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;There's just nothing like a good steak.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Having said that, we don't eat much meat, 2kgs of mince and 2kgs of chicken breasts&amp;nbsp;lasts us weeks and we only have a steak every cpl of weeks or so. Like tonight. I do feel bad for the cattle after I watched that video of Halal slaughter.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;I could live without meat easily, if I had to. Specially if I had to kill my own.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;So are you a vegetarian or vegan OP ?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Are we defending the eating of meat to you or to some higher authority ?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="3"&gt;Nobody has to defend themselves about eating whatever they wish, as long as it is not another human being. (Canibals in certain countries still do so.) &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
