Here's proof that humans are meant to be vegetarians, not carnivores.

And here is proof that we can eat meat. God tells us in the bible which animals we can eat & which ones we can't eat.

I don't listen to god.

Obvious you arn't Native American OP!

All you have to do is go look at your reflection in the mirror, open your mouth and look at your teeth and there they are, fangs, incisors, you know canine teeth having only one purpose.

Get over it libbie wimp.

the human GI tract is closer to that of a raccoon or pig, humans are omnivores-have always been omnivores. even great apes have been observed eating meat. most true herbivores have multiple stomachs.

I'm with 86942

If it`s true we are carnivorous,
then why the hell we keep cooking our meat? Lets have it bloody raw.

Meat is to acid forming for the body`s ph,perfect for the propagation of many acid-loving virus

So it's all down to choice, whether you can stomach eating something with a face and brain. I cannot do that.

Yes, we're omnivores.

Cats also don't have, or have lost through evolution, any receptors to "sweet" tastes or smells. Thus, they don't like sweet stuff. Only meat, and a few other things. 'Cept my cats, who like cantalope, and one who loves Entenmann's donuts. LOL

Here's proof OP that you will ignore facts and commonsense because they do not accord with the way you would 'like' reality to be you come up with a half-assed theory that doesn't stand up for two seconds under critical scrutiny and yet try to pass it off as a proven fact - much the same as all your bullshit about 911.

Teeth show no proof on what you eat alot of animals in the world that have fangs and sharp teeth but eat fruit and vise verse.

Vice Versa? You mean the fruit will eat the animal? Bizarre.

ok name some!

Bats

Here, let's keep it really simple OP... if you don't choose to eat meat, then don't.

Fruit bats have relativley recently evolved from insect eating varieties and since they don't have to grind the soft fruit, their teeth work just as well for that.

humans can eat either meat or vegetables... facts are facts. There is no way we can get enough calories from vegetables alone. We don't eat grasses like cows and horses, which have even longer stomachs then us.

Refined carbohydrates are much more harmful then lean meats that aren't overcooked.

Why do we cook our meat? can we eat bloody raw meat every day like real carnivours and be healthy?

Now, i know we can be very healthy by eating raw fruit and veggys everyday.

I believe hottentots are very partial to raw meat.

And if the Dalai Lama neads meat in his diet to stay healthy, then thats good enough for me.

I'm a 'vagitarian", I like to eat vaginas

I don't listen to god.

You will, you will

Nature doesn't intend humans to be either vegetarians or carnivores. Humans are omnivores. You have a full set of teeth, including molars, incisors and canines. You have an acidic digestive system, and the ratio of your intestinal tract length to body length falls in-between that of a strict carnivore and strict vegetarian. You have front facing eyes and are perfectly designed to catch little things like chickens for dinner. Deal with it.

This thread has put me in the mood for a nice thick juicy well done STEAK!!

"Cats and other true carnivores have very SHORT INTESTINES, so the toxic, decaying meat is digested and expelled very quickly."

Misconception. They have simpler digestive systems because meat is easier to digest.

"HUMANS HAVE VERY LONG INTESTINES, NOT meant to digest animal protein. THIS IS WHY SO MANY PEOPLE GET COLON CANCER, FROM EATING MEAT that stays in the intestines a long time."

Nonsense. The human digestive system is optimized for an omnivore (specially meat, fruits and roots) diet.

That cola-pork thing is total bollocks.

Besides, who knows how many bugs/parasites/viruses/bacteria are in the MEAT and/or VEGETABLES and/or FRUIT we eat?

Cook it, and it's gonna be mostly fine.

(And hey, my experience of "organic" vegetables is that they have the most - visible - bugs of all. Give me a few "chemicals" any day!)

Go ahead and eat your dead animals, but remember . . .

Vegetarians have a MUCH LOWER RATE OF COLON CANCER than carnivores do.

But go ahead and have that steak. It will make a colon cancer doctor very happy to take your money when you too, contract colon cancer.

When the conditions are right, You will beg for a tiny scrap of rat meat.

COLON CANCER, CRAP FATS AND LACK OF FIBRE. SLUSH FOODS.

VEGGIES TEND TO EAT MORE FIBRE/RUFFAGE.

THOSE THAT EAT A GOOD VARIED DIET, AVOID KNOWN TOXINS SUCH AS SOY, TEND TO BE EVEN HEALTHIER THAN VEGGIES.

IF YOU WANT TO BE A VEGGIE, FINE, ITS YOUR CHOICE AND ONLY THAT. NO SPIRITUAL OR HEALTH POINTS AT ALL.

REMINDS ME, THE "ALIEN PROTEIN' ARGUMENT. WELL BUGGER ME, SOY PROTEIN COULD NOT BE MORE ALIEN. SHOULD WE ONLY EAT HUMAN MEAT.

TALK ABOUT PARABOLIC THINKING.

VITAMIN A, VEGGIES GET IT FROM CANNED TOMATOES. SOURCE. ALL THE DEAD INSECTS IN THE TOAMATOES.

BETA CAROTENE, FINE BUT USELESS AS A SOURCE OF VITAMIN A.

THE DEBATE COULD GO ON ENDLESSLY.

WHY

POINTLESS

I SHALL CARRY ON EATING LAMB PORK CHICKEN DUCK VENISON, BEEF, PRAWNS LOBSTERS, FISH AND VEGGIES AND FRUIT AND ENJOY IT.

I ALSO HATE FACTORY FARMS, FACTORY CUNNECESSARY CRUELTY TO ANIMALS SO GET FARM OR ORGANIC WHERE I CAN.
