Except it isn't; culture doesn't affect our physiology and biochemistry, thus not relevant to discussions about natural diets.

This segment of the article,

> Furthermore, we lack the natural tools for killing and eating prey – we lack the requisite speed, agility, claws and teeth for taking down any prey of sufficient size to be useful

is the subject of my criticism. It is not relevant to any discussion about diet, either. And it ignores our intelligence as a "tool".
