Do you know.....?

Question

Do you know that humans are not supposed to eat meat by the way our teeth are shaped? (it's true)

Do you notice that every time a meat eater walks by a vegan or vegetarian they are always talking about meat when they know that you don't eat it? I can't stand that!

Answer 1

Every now and then I get twitchy about it. The meat comments. I try not to. It's better just to laugh it off.

Not just our teeth, but our colon. That's why colon cancer is the number one cancer. All the meat we are eating that we shouldn't eat. 1 in 5 Americans is obese. 1 in 6 Americans has colon cancer directly related to meat eating.

Answer 3

No sensible vegans can contest that we were deigned to eat meat. Even most vegan scientists agree that human's are designed to eat meat, that is not in question.

I assume by that when you say our teeth are shaped in such a way that they aren't meant to eat meat you're either talking about the inclusion of molars or lack of huge inscisors. We have molars because we aree omnivores and molars are needed to eat plants. Huge inscisors are used as weapons, for hunting and defense, not eating, where they actually get in the way a bit. We humans don't kill with our mouths but our hands, and thus we don't need huge teeth. Still, as any of the vast majority of meat eaters in the word will tell you, they're perfectly adept at eating meat.

Simple research into human biology reveals how we are meant to eat meat. For one thing, our body produces hydrochloric acid and meat splitting enzymes that herbivores don't produce and are solely used for the digestion of meat. There are adaptations to our teeth (not incisors, rather the size of the jaw), stomach and intestines which have made a human being very adept at meat digestion. There is nothing wrong with the way our body digests meat, and we are so adept at eating it no scientists are of any doubt we've evolved to eat it.

In contrast, there are many reasons we aren't naturally herbivores. We cannot naturally get all the nutrients we need without animal products naturally. Vitamin B12 cannot be got, even now, without animal products or supplements, and a lack of it can cause anaemia and impending death. 60% of vegans even now have some level of B12 deficiency, as opposed to no meat eaters, which says something about how well adapted we are to a vegan diet.
All other nutriets can be got natually. That owes to that vegtables can now be sold all year round, even out of season, and can be flown into the country from all over the world. In bygone times people could only eat the relatively small range of plants that grew in their ecosytem, and only when they were in season. Thus many more nutrients would have been unavailable and still more unavaillable for most of he year. Until very recently it would have been impossible for a vegan human to live naturally without dying very quickly.

Now, meat makes up for all these lost nutrients very nicely, and it really shows how we aren't naturally vegans, as until very recently it was impossible to live like that.

@ Vegan and Proud

Do your research, there are still some primitive people who do things very like that. Some African bushmen even now run down elands and even giraffs to exaustion, so they collapse and can be easily killed (no wonder Kenyans and Ethiopians always win the olympic long distance races).
That we do not have claws, talons, or incisors to hunt proves nothing. When early hominids ate meat they scavenged it, as vultures do, using their fingers to get the sinews and meat other animals couldn't. It was only after that that they began to hunt the meat themselves, and only much later they began to cook it. It is interesting that even now if someone was brought up eating raw meat he would have no problem with it.
The last few million years of human evolution have revolved completely around tools. We used advanced stone tools long before we began to hunt our own meat, and as such there was no need for evolution to bestow us with large claws or teeth to kill prey.
That said, for millions of years our ancestors have hunted for meat with little more than a sharpened stick or large stone. Just because you can't doesn't mean someone brought up in a society which hunts these ways couldn't.

Answer 4

I hate when people say they have teeth for ripping and tearing apart flesh.I'd like to see them go butt naked out in some forest,run down some wild game using their hands and rip it apart using their teeth.They can't, our jaws are nowhere near strong enough or open wide enough to do that,and our teeth aren't even strong canines.

I hate when people say you need the protein in meat to survive,what "protein" is only esclusively found in meat?(that humans can't create,all the essential types of protein can be found in plants).

Answer 5

Ugh... I'm sick of hearing "our teeth are shaped like this, therefore we should eat like that".

Meat-eaters aren't going to let the shape of their teeth stop them from eating meat.

Answer 6

And when I'm with friends at a buffet or resturant, I take salad with ranch, they either order or grab a nice big rib with tons of BBQ sauce and I get really ticked off!

Answer 7

The number one thing I hate is when I'm eating something or my boyfriend is eating something and one of our friends that isn't supportive says "You know theres meat in that." Prime example, Friday my boyfriends band had a show and he was drinking a red bull, and his drummer comes up to him and says "You know, they put bull testicles in that."
It's immature.
His response "Just because the name has Bull in it doesn't mean it's the animal, ******."

Yep.

Answer 8

Yup good point.

I just ignore their comments coz I know no matter what, I'm not going back to eating meat. Their talk isn't going to tempt me.

=)

Answer 9

you stupid bimbo, we're omnivores we're SUPPOSE to eat both meat and greens. what our body is NOT meant for is dairies.
a human produces fifteen of the seventeen enzymes we need to live... the other two are from outside sources and one of those is cooked RED MEAT... which most vegan and vegetarians cannot obtain since they are ignorant as to where to get an alternate source for this enzyme... did you know that or was your head so stuck up your *** that you were clueless to this?
