I think these people feel superior to the Almighty who established the food chain, and
even punished Adam and Eve for eating fruit. Yuk,yuk. Why didn't God make humans
ruminants? He could presumably easily have done so.

I'm reminded of Scots landlady who scolded an actor for going to walk on Sunday. "Ye're na
gaen t' the Kirk this mornin;?" "Why not? Jesus walked on the Sabbath with all his disciples."
"Ah ken, bu' ah dinna think a bit the better o' 'im for it."
