Is meat really unhealthy ?
When our vegetarian ancestors started eating meat around two million years ago, it wasn't just because animals taste good, it was out of necessity. Climate change made many of the plants our ancestors relied on less available, and meat filled the gap. At least since the discovery of fire, meat has been a staple of the human diet. But in recent years, eating meat has been increasingly associated with health risks such as heart disease, certain cancers and early death. So how unhealthy is meat really?

The Physiology of Things
Even if you put every human alive today into the Grand Canyon, we still couldn't fill it. We were only able to construct a pile in a very small section of the canyon. All of us—all 7.159 billion of us—are represented there. This also puts humanity into perspective. Humans spit up roughly one to two liters every day, so over the course of a lifetime, you won't create enough saliva to fill an Olympic-sized pool all at once. The entire amount of sand grains on Earth is thought to be 7.5 x 10 to the 18th, while 560 billion Lego parts have already been produced.
