The doctor told me

 

…that I could not be a natural carnivore because early humans only ate fruits and nuts.

 

“And anything they could chase down and kill with a stick,”  I added helpfully.

 

“No, not until after the flood.”  She explained in her charming Jamaican accent.  “Until then, it was forbidden to eat an animal.”

 

“Oh no!  You’re advising me based on the bible?”

 

“And what else would I base it on?” she asked.  (I love that accent.)

 

I suggested logic and common sense; (the best I could do on short notice).

 

“Oh.  Well then.”  She said, and considerately continued the interview with no further religious references.

 

Texas.  It’s a whole ‘nother place.
