Intelligent infinity can ask us to do all sorts of stuff. We have a choice upon which of those impulses we choose to follow. I try to court my body as a maiden and feed it that which I know, empirically, nourishes it, and avoid that which I know, empirically, will make it ill. But I've said many times before that my experience is from being in a body that is very sensitive, and that reacted greatly, and positively, to a change in diet. Obviously most of what I say will fall on the deaf ears of the healthy body complex. Just as people who tell me there's something wrong with my diet will fall on deaf ears, because in my eyes, I'm basically as healthy of a person that I know!
Well, for what its worth, I don't think there is anything wrong with your diet. I merely think people respect their bodies in many different ways, and those ways may not look like the way another person respects their body, because while most human bodies are similar, they are not all exactly the same.
I think there is a great temptation for people to, as an analogy, look at Vultures and accuse them of being Wolves or blaming them for the actions of the Wolves and then possibly being mad at them for not being Rabbits. And I just think there is a lot of judgment and distortion in that line of thought, that people would be better off letting go of (not necessarily accusing anyone in this thread of that, just what I've noticed -- a lot of misattributed judgment and blame).
The vultures, wolves, and rabbits all serve different functions, and don't necessarily need to be told by each other how inappropriate their diets are from the others standpoint. But like you said, the words mostly fall on deaf ears. Words don't teach, life experience teaches, which is why conversations like these rarely convince anyone of anything they didn't already previously accept.
Humans are all one species... Are you advocating that there is an "ideal" diet (and also an inappropriate diet) based upon species? Because based upon your analogy, it seems that you may agree with me more than you realize.
Although humans are all one species there is significant differentiation between people. Since evolution is a constant process everyone is somewhere along the spectrum of specializing and diversifying. Consequently we have diverged quite a long way from one another. For example Europeans generally carry genes helping aid digestion of dairy and alchohol that asians often lack. Given another hundred thousand years it would not be inconceivable that the human race would become separate species as we're already fairly progressed along that track. So long as you truly don't hate people who are different from you and truly prize diversity then this process is natural and even very exciting.
