I suppose this is the only place to post this...
Has science carelessly thrown humans into the category of omnivores? Think about it...
In the perfect harmony of God's creation we were made herbivore or vegetarian. God then gave us permission to consume animals after the flood.
***The crucial difference though between us and other omnivorous creatures such as insects, rodents, swine, etc. is that we must first cook our meat or face sickness or death.***
Does this exclude us from the category? It definitely seems to warrant an asterisk. A rat can happen across some roadkill and have itself a pleasant lunch, but we would perish on such a regular meal if we did not roast or cook away the impurities. (This applies to fresh meat as well)
Also, we are told that God will one day restore his intended harmony and we will once again live without animal death for a meal. This seems to make us modified and temporary omnivores at very best.
BTW, any chance of missing those burgers in heaven?
