Why, you might ask, does meat have enzymes in it


designed to destroy it? It’s because our bodies (and that
cow’s body, and that cod’s body) are constantly growing

life cycle, and our bodies have to have the means to
destroy old cells as they grow out of date—that’s what the
cell-destroying enzymes are for. One of the results of our
bodies losing the ability to destroy old cells while new
cells are being created is called cancer.
