Neanderthal dental plaque shows there was no 'typical' paleo diet, some were fully vegetarian

[Suzanimal]

I've seen how vegans can be, and they can be even more condescending to vegetarians than they are to those who eat meat. I do think they're a bit extreme because of that. Typically, vegetarians don't care what you eat, and vegans think they need to insult everyone into becoming vegan.

I've seen people say they'd eat extra meat after talking to someone who doesn't eat meat. I think some of the carnivore type diets might be backlash against vegans.

I think you just figured out why someone who eats meat might be an asshole to a vegan. I've been a jerk to a few who were shitty to me.

Again, I've never heard of anyone changing their eating habits because someone else is eating differently. Personally, I don't give a crap what people eat as long as they don't try to force their diet on me.

They are probably joking around.

I wasn't joking when I insulted one. I'm fairly sure she wasn't joking when she insulted me, either.

I was talking about someone saying that they will eat more meat to spite a vegetarian.

I eat what my body tells me too granted I have been mostly vegetarian most of my life but if my body says to eat a piece of fish or meat I just do it.My dogs eat a lot of veggies too but they also eat meat. We don't fight about it. I don't try to make anyone feel guilty because of their choice of foods.

I'm pretty skeptical about the potential for the methods these scientists used to determine what their subjects' diets were.

Even if they are able to recover enough genetic material to determine with accuracy what kind of microbes it came from and what kinds of foods this indicated those Neanderthals ate, I doubt that it would allow the scientists to say that the foods indicated by the microbes they found fossils of exhausted the entire diet of everything the Neanderthals on whose teeth they were found ever ate.

They were not frequent flossers, which was not a
huge issues with plaque build up, but the offencive breath
interferred with mating instincts and the species failed
to maintane signifiant reproduction rates as a result ,
eventually leading to the extinciton of the species.
