That's great that gorillas and orangutans don't eat meat... b/c it just so happens our CLOSEST relatives, the chimpanzees, DO eat meat (as omnivores). So using the argument that Gorillas, et al. don't eat meat goes against your evolutionary based arguments. I'm a vegetarian and like a lot of vegetarians I don't eat meat for a number of reasons... I just hope we are correctly educated on what the reasons are.

@hawkeye9811 oh yeah? what kind of meat do chimps eat?

[SLaurieMitchell]

thanks for posting these videos!  I became a vegetarian 14 years ago after watching this documentary in middle school. the points Robbins makes are still relevant today and I am glad his voice is finally being heard and respected.

[heylover3]

well, you're welcome! Glad to hear you've been veggie for so long! keep it up!

this way of living, if applied by every human being, has the power to change the world, DRASTICALLY. Livestock outnumber human beings 3 to 1. They drink over 50% of all water consumed. And 20000 lbs of grain fed to cows produces 165 lbs of meat. What are people thinking??!! They are thinking mmmm, this artery clogging cheeseburger tastes good. Sick. Just plain sick.

You're full of unsubstantiated conjecture.

Canines! LOOOOLLL Primates use their teeth primarily for display and striping succulent vegetables. Vegan Gorillas and Orangutans have massive canines - explain that! Our tiny little canines are for smiling as a harmlessness display.

Meat is indigestible for humans and the excess protein in omnivore diets creates acid conditions in human bodies leading to many diseases like arthritis and osteoporosis, etc.

@heylover3 Just type in "What do chimpanzees eat" in google and you'll see.

[MorpheusBride]

@heylover3 Chimps have been observed eating baby cheetahs and also baby chimps from other competing groups. They do not hunt, but will eat meat at any opportunity. Termites are protein also, and they even implement the use of tools to reach into a termite mound to have access to that protein. Not trying to be a pedantic dink, This is just physical anthropology 101.

@heylover3

Monkeys, and they've been known to eat the young of other chimps

I READ THE BOOK ITS CRAZY .IT GETS YOU THINKIN BUT IM NOT GONA BECOME A VEGETARIAN

[webbeccjo]

@heylover3 according to jane goodall who spent decades studying chimps, although they are primarily vegetarian, they have been documented hunting and eating insects,rodents,monkeys,wild pigs and even small antelopes

@respuestasveganas I do respect animals. but more so the planet. what do u think will happen if everyone suddenly became vegetarians? think about it.

[0AnimeLova0]

@thefutureisvegan you think your diet is healthier than a regular non vegan diet? you're kidding. meat is NOT indigestible. It is only SLIGHTLY harder to digest for a human.

[0AnimeLova0]

@heylover3 um yeah. they eat other monkeys. anything they can find really because it's SURVIVAL instincts. It's what we were made for, what our teeth were develped for. Vegan, vegetarian, it's a choice but it's fair for animals to cave into their natural insticts and sustain food chains

There is a plethora of opinion in the comments section... as usual.
