Go back to caveman fire pits, and you can dig up bone shards, split open so cavemen could get at the marrow, etc. Humans have strong, well-rooted canine teeth, which are very clearly well-suited to biting into meat.
I don't think you ever seen the canine teeth of a hippo.
They are bigger then those of a lion and yet hippos are 100% vegetarian.
Horses too have canine teeth and so a lot of other fully vegetarian animals.
What about elephants with their tusks?
If you still are not getting the message i will explain to you.
Canine teeth or tusk are not for eating meat but for scaring and eventually fight enemies.
Capish?

Quote:Another hint that people are omnivorous is that there are 7 billion people, and maybe 1 billion are vegetarian. 6/7 is not a freak accident-- that's obviously the norm. My argument is that the norm is not better. My argument is that despite an evolved liking for meat, we have the capacity to care enough about other animals not to kill them when we have other means of food-production at our disposal.
Your argument is totally bankrupt.
The number means absolutely nothing.
If i drop my wallet with $ 100 on the ground you will find that 90% of the people who find it will pick it up and keep it while maybe only 10 % will try to contact the owner so they can return the wallet.
Does this means that 90 % are right and the 10 % wrong or the opposite?
Quote:But making shit up doesn't help anybody. It just serves to discredit vegetarians who DON'T spew shit.
I did show that the theory that man is omnivore is totally bankrupt by show that since man is man he has never being omnivore.
I show what an omnivore look like and i show that man is totally different.
I show that man does not salivate for raw meat while omnivore do salivate for.
I show that the the digestive system is different.
Is this shit?
I do understand that for someone who is stuck in the dogma of ignorance is quite difficult to admit that they are wrong but that is normal too.
I never expect that people living in the gutter of dogma admit that they are wrong.
That is why the rot is so difficult to eradicate.

The fact that the Chimp eat meat does not means that by nature they are omnivore.
Lift in the jungle is very tough.
When their normal food (fruit, nuts) is not available in order to survive they eat meat.
This is also a peculiarity of human beings especially during the ice ages when their normal food was very hard to get.
Once you use something that is not in your nature for long time you tend to make an habit of.
That of course does not mean that it is normal.
If it would be normal then cardiovascular diseases would be almost unknown but as we know they grow as the meat habit grows.
