No lets say the average height is 1.6m, that would still only mean the intestines are 7.5 times the length of the body, way below the lower boundary of the length of a herbivores intestine, which according to the vegan sceptic site is around 10 times the body.
The more you look at different sites and the more you find different results.
All the sites that i have looked at say that it is 10 times the body length but also your maths make sense
so you may well be correct on this point.
One thing i would like to ask you.
1) Fruits seem to be the easier digested food for humans.
Does this means that our body is best suited for a frugivore diet or it is just a coincidence?
2) I was saying that meat eating animals do not get cardiovascular diseases while humans get it.
Some people here brought the example of a wild dog that get such a disease. This wild dog was kept in captivity.
Do you think it does make sense to take a wild dog kept in captivity to contradict me?
I rely on your maths to get enlightened.
Thanks.
