I don't think humans are natural grain eaters; the only natural grain eaters are birds. Grains cannot be eaten in their natural state, they must be processed (i.e. cooked). No other species on Earth has to cook food...why should humans be different?
No other species on Earth has to wear clothing... why should humans be different? Hardly any other animal on Earth needs to include vitamin C in its diet. Why should humans be any different?
You don't think humans are natural grain eaters? Humans aren't natural vegetarians either, but that doesn't stop you from advocating a veggie diet. I would also point out that bananas can't be eaten in their natural state (wild bananas have large seeds and are quite inedible. Cultivated bananas require human intervention to propogate and the most popular varieties were quite recently created). Why is it okay to eat bananas but not grains?
It is perfectly possible to make a rational case for vegetarianism, but you are just spouting nonsense.
