Oh, it was a “phase”. So there’s hope for humans too.
And toward conclusion:
“In future research, he hopes to find out why vegetarian crocodyliforms didn’t last past the end of the Cretaceous; the answer may relate to cooling climates, changes in plant life or competition with mammals, he said.”
Or maybe just that being a vegetarian sucks.

I'm Nicholas Bakos, a.k.a. "NikoBako." I'm Greek (Roman really, but only a handful of people today fully understand what I'm talking about when I say that, so I use "Greek" for shorthand). I'm from New York. I live all over the place these days. The rest should become obvious from the blog.
See especially "JADDE: THE MISSION AND STARTING OFF, the blog's first entry below, and JADDE: THE NAME OF THIS BLOG for my general agenda:
"What I hope this blog accomplishes is to create even the tiniest amount of common consciousness among readers from the parts of the world in question."

Hey, just wondering — why such a distaste towards vegetarianism? It is a much more environmentally-sustainable diet, given that animal agriculture requires enormous quantities of energy and is a big driver of global warming. I’m not personally vegetarian (I’d consider the end of meat production a cultural disaster) but I don’t really understand where your objections come from. I find your views usually well-articulated so just wondered about your thoughts on this!
