That's not true, the same can be said for someone who eats meat, the incidence of iron and zinc deficiency among long-term vegetarians is similar to that of non-vegetarians. It all depends on how well a person manages their diet. Whole grains and legumes provide all the amino acid and zinc a person needs, and it never hurts to supplement your diet, whether you eat meat or not, with vitamins.
Eating meat has nothing to do with having a large brain, science has already disputed that argument. Elephants have the largest brain size of all land mammals, does that make them more intelligent than human beings?
Human beings are the only supposed "omnivorous" species who cooks and seasons their meat, all others eat it raw. When you eat your meat fresh off the bone all juicy with blood, then you can come back here and claim your a true omnivore, til then your argument that human beings are omnivorous is invalid.
About dead flesh being diseased, why do you think it's insisted that you cook it thoroughly? Do you think mad cow disease fell out of the sky?
And your argument about meat having all this protein, more protein can be found in a stalk of broccoli than a pound of beef. For someone who is so sure that they aren't a fool, you really do say some foolish things.
Before written documentation, yes people would have been guessing. But since we have first hand accounts of what took place in the past recorded on paper we know the events are factual, maybe somewhat obscured, but it's there for everyone who knows how to read.
Some reference reading for those who think that homelessness is based solely on drugs or alcohol. Educate yourselves:

The largest social demographic in first world countries that experiences homelessness are actually elderly people. Why don't you educate yourself before spouting your ignorant dribble? POVERTY is the number one cause for homelessness, Eroding Work Opportunities is second. The declining value and availability of public assistance is another source of increasing poverty and homelessness. A lack of affordable housing and the limited scale of housing assistance programs have contributed to the current housing crisis and to homelessness. Battered women who live in poverty are often forced to choose between abusive relationships and homelessness. For families and individuals struggling to pay the rent, a serious illness or disability can start a downward spiral into homelessness, beginning with a lost job, depletion of savings to pay for care, and eventual eviction. Homelessness results from a complex set of circumstances that require people to choose between food, shelter, and other basic needs. There are many reasons one can become homeless, so you see, you ARE AN IGNORANT TWIT. I rest my case.
Public schools offer just one more important lesson than home schooling does, and it's a very important lesson, socialization. In order to function in society a kid has to learn how to socially interact with his/her peers, this is something that home schooling just doesn't teach.
Of course it does, especially when you give your excuses. They may sound like reasonable excuses, but when you break it down, it's all ignorance. People like to view the homeless as lesser beings who are there because they are lazy, drug addicts, etc. What people fail to realize is that most people become homeless because of circumstances. The homeless are no different than you or I. One day you may be homeless, and maybe then you will realize why I think people like you are ignorant twits.
