Human beings are vegetarian or non-vegetarian "by nature"?

Answer 1

We are omnivores. Our teeth do not have large grinding surfaces that vegetarians (like gorillas) have. They are relatively small but still don't have a lot of cutting areas like pure carnivores do. Our system digests meat quite well and does not have the vast capacities like vegetarians do. Look at primate vegetarians - gorillas and orangutans - they have pot bellies - that is for digesting fiber. We don't have that (or shouldn't). Our closest relative, chimpanzees, eat a certain amount of meat protein - insects and they do hunt - monkeys, small deer and even rarely are cannibalistic. In the fossil record the human brain gets bigger as the changes in the teeth indicate more meat (more protein) in the diet. In fact if we don't have a certain amount of meat in the diet we develop certain nutritional deficiencies which shows we have evolved the need to eat meat. People who have chosen a vegetarian diet have to be careful to select certain vegetable foods to make up complete proteins and also most take some type vitamins to get essential nutrients.

Answer 2

By nature all human beings are designed to be vegetarians.

We have over 30 feet of intestine that digests food fast, not slow.

Fruit & vegetables are soluble, meat is not, meat takes a long
time to digest.

Cats n dogs have a short stomach where the meat is deposited and surrounded by digestive fluids slowly, whereas the long digestive system pushes the food through quickly.

Meat can take up to 3 weeks to digest and it rots in the bowels.
Meat eaters can suffer from a condition called lypotoxeima, which is a pollution of the blood when animal proteins are broken down by the system.

This condition causes circulatory diseases, liver damage, kidney disease, heart attacks and cancerous cells to mutate which may cause cancer.

Lypotoxiema, remember this disease lypotoxiema, pollution of the blood.

Answer 3

Human beings are intended to be vegetarians. That is why they have small teeth. The animals who are meant to be carnivores have big teeth for tearing the meat. Another sign is that any animal who drinks by using their hands are vegetarians. Those that use their mouths are non vegetarians.

Answer 4

Funny, we are omnivorous but if you look at our teeth positioning and form, they are herbivorous in nature. So, maybe it comes down to small bites like rabbits, fish and the like. Good question.

Answer 5

Humans are omnivores by nature..

Answer 6

Because of Adam and Eve's sin, God allowed them to eat whatever they wanted, when they were kicked out of the garden.

Answer 9

"by nature" we eat whatever is smaller than our mouths and is not poisonous. So, yes, we are naturally omnivoires.
