Things like needing to complement plant foods for “complete protein” was debunked (with science) in the 70’s. That doesn’t stop meat-eaters from using it……to justify their eating habits.

“Even the most ardent vegetarians will admit that meat eating played a large role in evolution”

You word that to convey it as fact. It’s a theory……popularized by meat-eaters….to justify their eating habits.

People don't like others to make different choices than they make...it casts their own choices in a glaring light. As a healthy Paleo eater, I get all kinds of comments at work from the people that are chowing down on their Snickers bars or vegetarian meals. And to blame it on meat making you aggressive is the kind of thing that keeps vegetarians and healthy meat-eaters from ever bridging the gap. Again, it goes both ways.

Is it that meat makes you more aggressive, or that they are just offended by my point of view?

Here's a recent radio interview of him on ABC radio: http://www.abc.net.au/rn/scienceshow/default.htm. The only drawback to cooking is the production of Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs), Advanced Lipid Peroxidation End Products (ALEs), and HCAs among other things when overcooked. Steam your meat using a food steamer to limit this things and consider supplementing with benfotiamine and other AGE blockers. Of course the Primal BP includes alot of natural antioxidants which could combat the negative aaspects attributed to cooking/overcooking.
