    Access to meat (thus better nutrition) increasing doesn’t imply meat makes you Megamind. That’s a very poor argument in bad faith.

      The minute you start blathering about a “rise in IQ” you are making a “poor argument in bad faith.”

        Because? Things don’t become truthful just because you said them.

            Right… let’s check his comment point by point, shall we?

            A person does not need to eat meat.

            I believe you’ll agree with this without the need to further explain it.

            People absolutely do need to eat meat

            This is strictly true, in our current context. The food production chain simply cannot cope with the abrupt loss of a main source of nutrients in most places. Particularly when 'muricans are throwing away up to half of their food.

            specifically cooked meat in order to be intelligent.

            Non-statement statement of dubious quality. Should be rewritten.

            It’s what made cavemen smarter than other animals.

            That’s invariably the most accepted explanation to homo sapiens evolution

            Also the recent rise in average height and IQ from good nutrition is in part directly related to cheap meat from factory farming.

            Meat provides very dense nutritional value, I’m sure you’ll agree - it’s why carnivores exist to begin with. We know, factually, that nutritional quality directly correlates with better health, both in body and mind. We also know that meat can be VERY cheap, as long as you’re not looking for “grade A elite baby wagyuu” stuff.

            Where, exactly, is your point explicit?

              Oh really? Accepted by whom?

                The fucking scientific community? Let me be direct - Are you seriously going to ask ridiculous questions a 5 year old could answer instead of providing any argument whatsoever? Because at that point, I’d rather not waste my time with a functionally illiterate individual.

                  The fucking scientific community?

                  Then you should have zero problem providing proper back-up to your claims, shouldn’t you?
