No, it doesn't render everything you've said wrong, I just find it interesting that anyone who is vehement that we (as humans) should not eat meat for moral reasons does still utilise leather.  Don't forget that I am forever labelled as a blood thirsty sadist by many just because I am pro-hunting - it doesn't mean I think that all animals should have the crap beaten out of them, or that I agree with bear baiting or similar.

I'm not sure I follow your thinking of evolving further either, really.  Is it necessary for us to change our ways so that we don't eat meat?  I don't think so, you obviously have a different opinion, so we will have to agree to disagree on this one.  Once you get into a subject like that, it throws so many other issues wide open - should we stop driving as the fumes are deadly to flora, fauna & wildlife, or because of the massive amount of animals that are killed by vehicles very day, or because we are destroying their habitats when building new roads?

Brian, I will have a look at the site you have posted when I can.  From the education I received I would say that humans were certainly evolved to be omnivores & I would also question how successful homo sapiens would have been as a species if they were herbivores - from the studying I did in Biology & Archaeology I would suggest that the species would possibly not exist in the way it does today if that were the case.  Evolution is a competitve field - would humans have survived until the present day if they were denied the opportunity to eat meat?  Certainly in the very early stages of man I, personally, do not think that the species couldhave survived on vegatation alone.  I agree, it certainly makes for an interesting subject.
