That is not really true.
If you would have studied human body seriously you would know that it takes thousand of years for something in the body to change.
Considering that the human body is totally in line with a vegetarian diet (fruit, nuts, grain, vegetable etc) then you would draw that your theory is just a dogma (false true).
Only in time of calamity like the ice age or other disaster humans had no choices but to eat meat, but for ages and ages human were almost completely vegetarian.
You look at the length of the stomach.
Look at the gastric acids.
Look at the teeth.
Look at the alkalinity of the human body compared to the acidity of carnivore.
The stomach of a carnivore animal is about 10-12 times shorter and the reason is that the meat is acidic and tend to putrefy very quickly so has got to go through the stomach fast in order not to cause ulcers or other problems.
For this reason the gastric fluids in carnivore are also much more stronger. (sharks digest bones with no problem)
The teeth are also very different.
While the carnivore have teeth to shred the flesh humans have teeth to crush grains or nuts or to eat fruit.
One day one guy point out to me that also humans got canine so is natural for human to eat meat.
I point out to him that hippos got canine 100 TIMES bigger then humans and yet they are full vegetarian so the reason is not that they eat meat but rather they got canine to scare or to fight possible enemy.
My suggestion to you is ...........DO NOT LOOK AT APPEARANCES BUT STUDY THE SUBJECT IN DETAIL BEFORE YOU MAKE UP YOUR MIND. Angel
