Larry,



On quite the contrary, many foods I eat throughout my daily life come from some source of Mother Nature, just some--mostly meats here--have been transformed (exempli gratia, deli meats).



But sure, there is a HEL of a lot of stuff available to humans and which We consume but which is (very) bad (and only "sustains" You consequently), and for many-a-human, it has proven to take its toll. Sure, We live longer than, say, 1,000 years ago, but it is via unnatural ways such as life support machines and drugs, the latter of which only prolongs the inevitable and in the meantime weakens and makes more dependable Your body. Frankly, there is NO honour or dignity in going out this way! But then, I'm very ancient-minded on some things...



Anyway, just to confirm again, You, Larry, do know my spiel wasn't an attack on You, right? Obviously from Your prior response circling Micrurus and providing snakes and/or skinks, I was actually in agreement with You, for We seem to see the same way...which is why I find this response of Yours quite ironic, heh.



I don't know, though...I guess because I address the one I respond to (exempli gratia, starting with, 'Larry,...) which was You followed by my rant, I've been paranoid the past couple of days You'd take it as a personal hit, haha. I'm glad You didn't, though, because--again--my argument wasn't targeted towards You, for again, You implied having to supply snakes and/or skinks for Micrurus which goes in line with my philosophy...thus, still why I find this current response of Yours boggling, heh.



Timothy



>>Up to a certain point, I agree with you. However, before you get too agitated I suggest you think for a few minutes about how YOUR diet compares to what a "wild" human would be eating. You don't seem to have dropped dead yet. I'd be willing to bet that you didn't eat a single thing today that even exists in the wild.
