How humans are not physically created to eat meat

If you want to know what we are supposed to eat by nature, just watch the diet of animals that are close to us. Orang Utans don't eat meat.

Now, a carnivore would argue that we are weak and would have a disadvantage if we don't eat meat. Ok... Tell that to the silver back alpha orang utan... He's a herbivore... All the strongest animals are herbivores... Elephants, Hippos, Bears ....

op you never addressed the weston a price foundation which has helped a lot of people heal from disease. do you purposefully ignore whatever doesn't suit your argument?

there has been a few intelligent people reply to this thread but on the whole the majority of the replies remind me of an old saying:
YOU CAN LEED A MAN TO WATER BUT YOU CANT MAKE HIM THINK!

Bears are herbivores??? Whats it called when they are fishing salmon/trout out of the rivers? Or when the polar bears eat seals?

Lions not among your list of strongest animals?

actually op, it's a compelling argument, food for thought. One more for you, vitamin b12 absorption is difficult for celiacs. your theory on vegetarianism presents special challenges for those who cannot eat certain grains. I shall think on it though, and perhaps experiment. I will let you know.

is a kangaroo a herbivore ? you probably think and are taught that they are yes ?.......wrong! hand a roo a sausage cooked on the bbq and that fucker will hoe that shit down quicker than u can blink , yet it does not hunt meat to eat .
Alot of animals that u think are herbivores will actually jump at the chance to scoff down meat if given the chance , this includes bears , birds , insects , crustaceans and yes monkeys too !! some monkeys will actually hunt down other packs of monkeys and eat them and their babies so not only are they both herbivore and omnivore they practice cannibalism aswell !!!!
What about the praying mantis ? the female bites off the head of the male after mating with him .
Things arnt always black and white there are many shades in between so to say an anmimal only eats this or that is very naive.

Nice copy paste. +1

"Humans: have intestinal tract 10-12 times their body length."

Last I checked, the average human has a small intestine of around 22-23 feet. And a large intestine of 4-6 feet.

At most, we have intestines 6-8x our body length of intestines.

Animals are tasty.

Quote "Even bears that are omnivores eat salmon raw."

+1 For the implication that bears can cook.

The original command was:

"And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it..." Gen 2:16-17

Then came Jehovah and he reject gifts from harvest but instead wanted meat as offering.

He was addicted to smell of slaughtered animal and what's worst, he ordered slaughter of whole human tribes.

I'd say your a vegetarian that wants to try and prove there way is better then eating meat just because you do it, the reason may be you just want to show people its better your way in your mind, meat is good for us we need nutrients in meat..

If your on a strictly vegetarian diet you'll need supplement pills to keep you healthy or else you may have some bad major health troubles in life..

Having long intestines is good no matter what you are (herbivore carnivore) it means you can get a lot more out of it before its completely past through.

It doesn't matter even if we were once herbivores as long as we can eat meat and it helps, which it does a lot, eat a variety of foods, grains, meats, vegetables and fruits. (I'll stick to my almost all meat diet though)

If you're like me (at least a bit), you like
a good burger now and then.

I love them too, but what I found out about them recently
is just disturbing, disgusting and downright angering.

Do you know that the burgers we buy from supermarkets
are basically health bombs?

Wait, I'm not talking from a "health foods expert" perspective,
but from a "I'd like to stay alive perspective".

Beef burgers, for example, don't only contain beef,
but it's made from a paste obtained by mixing
many types of meat and parts of an animal's body,
including the digestive tract, excretory system and
so on, which are packed with bacteria.

Bacteria that doesn't die if you only cook the burger,
but you should downright burn it.

But it gets "better". Inside beef there's poop. Consistent and
consecutive tests showed that, on average, 2/3
of all beef burgers contain e-coli,
which is a bacteria found in feces.

Of course, this bacteria shouldn't be in your stomach and
e-coli is on top of the list of bad things that might
make its way to your stomach.

Not to mention it's just very disgusting as well!


Burgers are also packed with antibiotics (fed to animals
to "stay healthy"), but also with salmonella,
enterococcus and other goodies, that
developed immunity to the antibiotics
put in them to kill them.

And all of that goes into our bellies.

So what can you do? Source your own food, grow it,
only buy it from someone you trust.

Better yet, eat less. Be prepared. They're poisoning us every second
and we have the power to stop it all by not buying
all that crap (quite literally) anymore.

and dont forget to buy burger mince unsubsidized would set you back around $80 a pound!
