I read this interesting article http://www.physorg.com/news127667797.html and 
it made me wonder if humans could force this adaptation on themselves.  As 
people begin to choose to be vegetarian and breed explicitly with other 
vegetarians it will create a social food limitation.  Will this social choice 
force their bodies into evolving or adapting to this new food limitation?
