Guest guest Posted April 11, 2000 Report Share Posted April 11, 2000 Anji, Your post about primates & apes jogged a memory for me. Did you know that New Zealand has passed a law giving chimpanzees & relatives the same right to life as humans? It's a step in the right direction, isn't it!

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 The Biblical definition of meat for mankind: " And God said, behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

It was meant to distinguish it from drink, It refered more often to a grain dish being at that time man's principal diet was grain. When man's diet turned to animal flesh, then the term was applied to this food, which became his " Meat " To call it animal flesh is not improper, and in fact more correct.
