	Well, I am suspicious of any position that *never* changes,
this speaks to me not of correctness but of dogmatism, or even
megalomania. I at least admit that I do not know everything and
might even be wrong. And your rules seem to be based on questionable
reasoning to boot! The ecological shift which seperated the Hominidae
from the other Great Apes 4 to 6 million years ago was the shift to
*carnivory*, thus to deny eating meat is to deny a large part of our
evolutionary heritage. Perhaps analyzing the middens of early
Australopithicus might be a way of determining the optimal diet? :-)
At least that would be based on real evidence.
