Cannibalism?
It is not really about cannibalism. It's about this:"The point to be learned from this is that we should not be basing our moral code on the behavior of other animals, but instead strive for something better. If we were to believe that eating meat is OK simply because other animals did it as well, then this would imply that there is also nothing wrong with cannibalism."If we translate 'our moral code' as 'our behavioral patterns', then this actually makes sense. Indeed, human females shouldn't eat human males during the copulation, like the praying mantis females do. In the case of the praying mantis, eating the male during the copulation, or just after it, gives the female (and her offspring) a survival advantage. In the case of the human species, it would be totally counter-productive. We should pattern our behaviour according to our evolutionary heritage. And whether AR loons want to believe it or not, human evolution is about eating meat.

Alright, you explained this in your other article "Vegetarians live longer? I think not" or whatever. If Veg's and people who eat meat live about the same amount of time then what does meat have to do with human evolution today. Obviously it's not required by humans to live.
