  • @SPS148669 yeah I know. I try to tell them that.but they just go back to "if humans were meant to eat flesh, we would have big sharp fangs. claws and could eat it raw and not get sick. and we could kill it without wepons.

    I don't know. I've seen some whimpy looking flesh eaters that lack fang and claw. why do people need to make such claim? those folks say they are herbivores. but get offended if i ask if they can and do eat grass.

  • @kuwaizair

    If we are herbivore than Humans would have more than 1 stomache and chew cud after going through the first stomache or at least a have big cecum pouch in the large intsestin like a horse.

  • @kawaiikitten5 oh yeah. but these people say humans cannot digest any meat at all. and we're buit "more like a cow than a wolf"

  • @kuwaizair Correction, our digestive system has the ability to digest and enzymatically break down protein. However, it is NOT designed to deal with the amount of people eat in modern society. It is estimated that we should only be eating around 20g of meat a MONTH. I myself am a vegetarian (once again, I think that's what you're referencing to, not vegans? Vegans do not consume ANY animals products. Eg, milk and cheese) and felt the need to reply to your uneducated and narrow minded comment.

  • I can show these to vegans who say we humans are more set up like a herbivore. so if we don't have the makeup like the horse, then we are not strict plant eaters right?

  • she said bottom half gastric region - on your recap you state glandular? is it gastric or glandular??

    thanks

  • Thank you girls. That was awsome and very easy to understand. Even without you dwelling on it, one can already identify a number of risk factors for colic.

  • wow very valuable information presented in a unique manner. tnx!
