This is probably old news to some of you but i heard an interesting tid bit on a public radio show (it was actually about pigs) which mentioned there is some evidence to suggest that omnivores have evolved with greater intelligence due to a broader diet. If anyone has a link to a comprehensive study on this id be greatly appreciated...since google took over my searching skills are worthless...1,453,776,098 results in .007 seconds and yet nothing is relevant...
In my opinion speaking from only anicdotal evidence: i am quite cautious when trying new foods reguardless if its plant or animal because i have no idea what it will do to me. One food allergy and that could potentially be my last meal. Or possibly a certain type of bacteria/virus found only in one type of animal could be life threatening. I would think that sticking to a more narrow diet would ensure a guarantee of saftey, health and survival. I guess i could go on but i wont
