Q for vegans---why don't you eat meat when our teeth prove that we are supposed to be carnivorous animals?

Answer 1

We are built to be omnivores that thing about meat rotting in your colon for weeks or whatever is a myth we are adapted to be able to eat both meat and plants though the introduction of meat in to our ancestors diets ,i mean the ones that weren't human but evolved into us, helped our brain development.

Answer 2

Biology, huh? properly enable me provide you with a touch record right here. right that's some vegetarian animals, and note that a lot of them are talked about as different maximum sensible animals contained in the international: elephants, hippos, horses, oxen, gorillas (any of which could kill you in a remember of seconds) cows, goats, silkworms, aphids, expensive, elk, and caribou. If an animal needs both meat and plant life with the intention to no longer die out, then please clarify to me how all of those animals have survived time... also, did you comprehend that about 40% of the inhabitants of India are vegetarians and performance been so in view that historic circumstances. India is the 2d maximum populated usa contained in the international purely in the back of China and has extra human beings than the U. S.. So if it were no longer attainable to stay off a vegetarian weight-loss application then is it magic protecting all those human beings alive? obviously you've had a foul adventure with a vegan/vegetarian as you're literally obsessively harassing this element of yahoo solutions like it is your interest. yet i in my opinion would surely get excitement from it in case you would a minimum of develop into knowledgeable on the topic and get your information instantly previously parading round shoving your pretend information in everyone's faces. thanks.

Answer 3

I can think and therefore control my actions. I choose not to be a predator. If more humans could think this way, we might have peace throughout the world.

Besides evolution has made our teeth smaller, and the molars are slowly disappearing from the back, and the two canine teeth in the front are already widening out (who tears their meat with those teeth anyways? We use a knife and fork!).

I agree that people like to come up with fictitious proof in order to justify their choice. It is your choice afterall, do you not like your choice? Why do you feel like you have to justify your choice to those who choose differently? Most vegans are not born vegans, we know where you are coming from because we have been there ourselves. We just became aware of the responsibilities we have to the planet, people, living creatures, and our own bodies.

Answer 4

Miss. Even if this is one of those let's waste the Vegan people's time by provoking them, I'll answer your question.
First of all FYI Humans are not animals. When it comes to our teeth maybe this will clarify it for you.

Human teeth, like those of the herbivorous creatures, are designed for grinding and chewing vegetable matter. Humans lack the sharp front teeth for tearing flesh that are characteristic of carnivores. Meat-eating animals generally swallow their food without chewing it and therefore do not require molars or a jaw capable of moving sideways.

Take care

Answer 5

I'm a vegetarian (not vegan). I don't eat meat, but I do eat dairy and eggs. For me, I don't eat meat because the idea grosses me out. I don't really care about the actual killing of the animal, I just don't want to eat it. I don't mind if people around me eat meat, although I would prefer if they saved the ribs and wings for a time when I wasn't there. Watching them gnaw the meat off the bone reminds me a bit too much of hyenas!

Answer 6

Our teeth do not prove that we are carnivorous. That is a common argument made by meat eaters and it's based on misinformation. You are refering to canines or eye teeth, but like many other herbivorous animals, those 2 sharp eye teeth are actually meant for tearing off things, not 16 +for ripping things (meat) to shreds. If our teeth were meant for eating meat exclusively, all most all of them would indredibly sharp, like a lion's or a wolf's. But most of our teeth are specialized for eating mainly plants, like deer. In fact, if you compare our dental records to that of a deer or a monkey, you would find that they more closely match the herbivorous/ omnivorous animals than they do any big cats' or wild dogs'

Humans are not carnivores/ natural predators/ supposed to eat meat exclusively because that's what we are made for. If we were, we would have some sort of hunting "device" built into our bodies, like claws or razor sharp fangs, but we don't. We aren't even fast or agile enough, nor do we have fined tuned senses to be able to hunt and kill prey without the use of guns or other man made weapons. In fact, the meat that the majority of meat eaters consume is all bred, raised, produced, slaughtered, butchered and packaged by someone else (so you don't even kill your own food). All you have to do is go to the grocery store, pick up a package of ground beef and enjoy your hamburgers.

You should also know that not all people go vegetarian because of killing animals. Some veg*ns do it because it's healthier than eating meat. Vegetarian, expecially vegan diets are extremely low in cholesterol and fat (well, as long as you aren't a "junk food" vegetarian). If you have high blood pressure/ cholesterol it's safer for you not to eat meat. Some people also do for the environment. The amount of resources used up to support the animal agriculture industry are astronomical. Check out the links below...

Hope this helped.

Answer 7

For me it's a natural extension of my pacifism. It is also an environmental and humanitarian action. Factory farms are very poorly regulated and they often let animal waste sit in large holes with little safeguards to prevent their introduction into bodies of water (remember the e. coli on spinach, it came from a beef farm). The same amount of land that's needed to raise cattle, including the land for growing grain to feed them, could be used to produce 80 times (I forget the exact ratio, I could be way off there) the protein if used for vegetables and grains.

Answer 8

because our teeth are NOT designed as carnivores. Everyone knows that humans are not carnivores.

Answer 9

Actually, our teeth prove we are not carnivorous... :-P

Answer 10

Good question, but technically we're omnivorous. I'd like to see some of the answers.
