Secondly, pig tusks are used by the pig for fighting with other pigs and for digging. if you actually look at all their other teeth that they actually use for eating you will see they are incredibly similar to human teeth. They are so similar in fact that they are often misidentified as human teeth in archaeological digs
There is something that i may agree with you.
Pigs eat shit. ( i have seen this in the Indian villages where they keep the toilets clean)
Also many human eat shit in the form of meat so of course there are similarity.
The only difference however is that while for pigs it is natural for humans it is not and that make a lot of difference.

It means that as the teeth are different also the digestive system is different.
While a while pig need to kill and eat meat as well as other veg. items it need a shorter digestive system than a domesticated pig which is fed manly with non meat items that is why the digestive system vary from the two.
Quote:Firstly, you should show evidence for this. However even if what you say is true what essentially what you are saying is that pigs bodies will adapt to whatever diet they are fed on. Why then would the same not be true of humans?
That is a very interesting issue but it does not work as you may think.
It goes individually not by race or as a group of creatures.
If you are so much interested in meat you will be reborn in some sort of animals that like meat and human race will not be affected or altered by your decision.
As i said before you will be put in that mosaic that is in tune with your wishes.
Human race has got to be there all the time.
People change.
Some evolve and some go down according to their actions.
This particular planet is home to a certain group of people with certain trends and peculiarity but it is changing all the time.
In other planet there may be people with different trends and peculiarity so it is not a problem of space to accommodate all sort of people, animals and everything else according to their karma.

Quote:This is not an accurate measure for omnivorous pigs whose, “small intestines have an average length of 15 to 20 m”Source. For those of you who aren't entirely familiar with the metric system a pig has a body length a little over one meter.
Gee, you could have chosen a different animal.
Everytime i think about pigs i think about meat and shit.
Please change animal.
[color=#DAA520]The human intestine is ten times longer than the length of the body......

Quote:The vegan skeptic site is very poor, it has no references. The second reference is better, but I don't think you have read it. It says that " the length of the entire human intestine can range from 7.5 to 8.5 meters (25 to 28 feet)." Now unless you think your average person is under a meter in hight, what you say must be complete nonsense. Lets say the average person is 1.6m tall ( which is a bit short, but I am being generous to your argument) 8 divided by 1.6 is 5. Therefore according to your own source, the length of the entire intestine is 5 times the length of the body, which according to the vegan skeptic site means we are either a carnivore or an omnivore. Do you agree? According to your own sources we are omnivores.
As a side note the pigs in the study I quoted were almost 2m in body length, which is why they had a a small intestine length 7 times that the length of their bodies.
I have read far too many references and all of them indicate that the human digestive system is a lot longer than meat eater creature as they need to process the meat very fast as the meat rot very quickly.
Quote:While I congratulate you for being part of a movement to improve the working conditions of taxi drivers, you are exaggerating your own importance when it comes to the general decline of smoking and the enactment of legislation internationally to protect working environments and reduce smoking. This was part of a larger cultural trend supported, as I say, by firm evidence of the harm it causes to health. If you were to make crazy arguments against smoking as you are doing now with regards to meat, you would have undermined those efforts to reduce smoking.
Even a tiny ant can cause an avalanche if she is position in the right (wrong) place.
I don't really care what people think.
As far as i did my best i am happy as it is.
