Direct quote from Sarah Palin’s new book: “If any vegans came over for dinner, I could whip them up a salad, then explain my philosophy on being a carnivore: If God had not intended for us to eat animals, how come He made them out of meat?”

Wow.
“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.” -Genesis 1:29-30 (KJV)
What say ye now, Sarah Palin?
Explaining an evolutionary principle using Bible verses is asinine. Sarah is right (I shudder at the thought), but it’s not god who did it, it was the chimpanzees we evolved from.
Get out a flashlight and look at your teeth. You see those sharp ones up front? Those are for tearing. See the pointy ones? Those are for catching. The ones in the back with 4 little points? Grinding. Also, our bodies can break down complex proteins. Thus, we are evolutionary hardwired to eat other animals.
If a person doesn’t want to eat meat they are not wrong, but trying to explain to me that I am wrong using evolution or Jesus is stupid.
