If Smith meant that humans are designed to eat meat, he is mistaken. Unlike carnivorous animals, we have a small mouth, more chewing than tearing teeth, a large stomach, a long small intestine and a puckered colon. These features are grossly unsuited for a meat diet. Then there's the environmental and social impact of meat eating. It takes enough fossil fuel to drive a car 20 miles and enough water for 17 showers to produce one hamburger patty.
Livestock currently graze on half the Earth's land mass.
It is obvious Smith has no respect for the views and lifestyles of those who are doing their part to help animals, people and the earth. If he wasn't joking, the comments are so ridiculous they don't warrant a reply. I ask that in the future Jeff Smith refrain from spouting such ignorant, sexist, uneducated and misinformed opinions. However, the sad fact is that he does not need to understand it, he need only accept it. Of course, these spoiled athletes never had a second thought about accepting the money.
