An outbreak of a rare parasitic disease has been linked to undercooked bear meat eaten by dozens of people at a gathering in North Carolina, a new U.S. CDC report has revealed.
Edit: I think the issue a lot of people have with saying that we evolved to be able to do something means that we still have to do it. We evolved to eat meat. We can survive just fine on a plant-based diet now that we’ve domesticated the right crops, so it’s no longer necessary. There hasn’t been near enough time to evolve into herbivores, if that’s the eventual path we go on, but we can be herbivores if we choose. Which is one of the amazing things about being human- we can defy evolution.
If we can’t eat it raw then I’d argue we didn’t evolve to eat it
Why? Hominids used fire to cook food long before Homo Sapiens evolved.
