Maybe apes would choose banana splits... or cheese cake... or butterscotch malts... or a seafood pasta dish?! Wow!... have we all lost our minds?!!! If so... let's eat CARBS till the cows come home, and then blame it on what other animals would "choose" to do. NO NO NO... WE choose to eat all this JUNK! There is NO REASON other than using food like a DRUG! We smoke and drink and do drugs out of cultural reasons... now, would an ape do that? Maybe they would smoke crack if it were "readily available"? WHAT DOES THIS have to do with what this thread is about?! IMHO we eat food that is non-food/poison simply for the same reasons we do any other cultural thing... and sometimes culture takes a turn for the worse when it comes to diet, or other aspects of living. Sorry, but I am getting pretty tired of this type of "logic" being used in this thread!
