Will Vegetarians Inherit The Earth?

We're probably not real carnivores yet... not like, say, cats. We've probably only been eating meat since the last ice age when we didn't have much choice. So, those in doubt as to whether they will live long enough to see the full extent of the major paradigm shift predicted to unfold over the next few decades may be well advised to think about the implications of maintaining what is essentially an unnatural diet on their physical expectancy.

Transhumanists see this kind of attention to lifestyle choice as par for the course, in some cases going as far as sustaining themselves through regimented application of nootropics and supplements. There are also those for whom cutting out meat is not going far enough and focus more heavily on calorie restriction and drinking alkaline water(?!)

That said, we all know of someone who smoked and drank and ate badly their whole lives but lived to 95; so abstinence may not be the be all and end all. Perhaps just being aware is a good enough start for now.
