Why humans are primarily plant-eaters by design

Human Beings

Human characteristics are in every way like the fruit eaters, very similar to the grass- eater, and very unlike the meat eaters, as is clearly shown in the table above. The human digestive system, tooth and jaw structure, and bodily functions are completely different from carnivorous animals. As in the case of the anthropoid ape, the human digestive system is twelve times the length of the body; our skin has millions of tiny pores to evaporate water and cool the body by sweating; we drink water by suction like all other vegetarian animals; our tooth and jaw structure is vegetarian; and our saliva is alkaline and contains ptyalin for predigestion of grains. Human beings clearly are not carnivores by physiology -- our anatomy and digestive system show that we must have evolved for millions of years living on fruits, nuts, grains, and vegetables.

Furthermore, it is obvious that our natural instincts are non-carnivorous. Most people have other people kill their meat for them and would be sickened if they had to do the killing themselves. Instead of eating raw meat as all flesh-eating animals do, humans boil, bake, or fry it and disguise it with all kinds of sauces and spices so that it bears no resemblance to its raw state. One scientist explains it this way: "A cat will salivate with hungry desire at the smell of a piece of raw flesh but not at all at the smell of fruit. If man could delight in pouncing upon a bird, tear its still-living limbs apart with his teeth, and suck the warm blood, one might conclude that nature provided him with meat-eating instinct. On the other hand, a bunch of luscious grapes makes his mouth water, and even in the absence of hunger he will eat fruit because it tastes so good."

Scientists and naturalists, including the great Charles Darwin who gave the theory of evolution, agree that early humans were fruit and vegetable eaters and that throughout history our anatomy has not changed. The great Swedish scientist von Linné states: "Man's structure, external and internal, compared with that of the other animals, shows that fruit and succulent vegetables constitute his natural food."

So it is clear from scientific studies that physiologically, anatomically, and instinctively, man is perfectly suited to a diet for fruit, vegetables, nuts, and grains. This is summarized in the table above.

Did God Designed Man to be Plant Eaters?

You can argue to me till your face is blue (thats what happens too when you choke on meat) that you are a meat eating carnivores/omnivores (grrr) lol but man is naturally a PLANT EATERS.

Plus early man was a veg eater and the hunted.

Did man evolved to eat meat?

haha, just another vegan/vegetarian in trying to convince us to be like them. Sorry, you are in the minority. 97% of the US population eats meat.

That is because we been brainwashed to eat carcass for so many years and its getting worse with all ads on TV to eat meat and dairy that is poisoning your body but you think they care? Meat industry and the pharmaceuticals are partners can't get rich without sick people and meat causes so many body ailments, diseases and cancer.

either way, im still going to eat barbecue ribs XD

[BlackGuitar1313]

What do I care about your early death "Extra365"?

WHY? WHY? When I look out and walk around the woods do I see no fruit (I live in the bedfordshire area, all I see is birds, deer, insects, leaves, rosehip, nettles, dandelions. I can only think I am in the wrong place (country) and if this were our diet we shoul dnot be here... we all need to be in a tropical region, unless we consider how to grow our own with solar power and greenhouses. Please help!

If there is birds and deer then there are abundance of rich greens I am sorry I did not see that part on your message.

No mammal — not even the herbivores — has developed an enzyme that will digest vegetable fibre. This is why we tend to discount it when calculating our calorie intakes. However, while mammals have not developed an enzyme that will digest fibre, there are lots of micro-organisms and bacteria that can the job for them. The herbivores employ billions of these bacteria.

Thank you my friend :)

That is right, my son broke his collar bone and I was reading in the website what type of food is best for it and guess what? Most was kale, spinach, nuts and said to reduce red meat not eat more. Even the dairy was not the priority and was told to instead consume Calcium enriched OJ. They did mention oily fish like salmon and Sardine but obviously we already know that we can get plenty of protein from plant source.

People eat bugs so really I don't your point about sushi.
