Do you think humans have evolved to be vegetarians?!


Question: Do you think humans have evolved to be vegetarians!?

You know the way meat-eaters say we have fangs etc the truth is we have SLIGHTLY pointy teeth
Could we have evolved into suiting a meat-free lifestyle< If you look at a dog or cat they have VERY POINTY teeth so maybe we had pointier teeth in the past and now they have adapted
Am I talking crap or what!?!?

Answers:
No you are not talking crap at all!. Our human physiology is designed to be vegetarian not omnivorous!. Dentition is part of it!. We do not have fangs to rend and tear!. Our teeth are designed to bite fruit and vegetables and to grind foodstuffs such as grain and vegetables with our molars!.
Additionally, we do not have powerful claws to rend and tear either!. Our musculature isn't designed to out run prey either or to pounce on them and gouge, rend, tear and snap!. Further more the hydrochloric acid content of our digestive tract is insufficient to digest hair, bone and connective tissue and the length of our intestinal tract also indicates that we were not intended to eat animals!. !.

Yep, talking crap!!! It's believed that humans evolved from monkeys/apes, that may explain the teeth thing as back hundreds and thousands of years ago teeth were a big deal for animals, to stay alive you killed!. Pointy teeth in monkeys/apes are believed to have developed due to having to kill and eat other animals ages ago!. If we are only the evolved form of them!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.think about it!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

The evolutionary evidence points to the fact that humans have been omnivores for most of their history!. We have sharp teeth in the front for cutting and ripping meat!. We have molars in the back for grinding hard plant material!. Strict carnivores have fewer and reduced molars!. Strict herbivores have reduced incisors and more and larger molars!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think humans have evolved enough to MAKE THEIR OWN decisions about what they want to eat or what they don't want to eat per individual decisions!. While also evolving enough to stay out of other peoples' business as to what they do or don't eat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

no!.!.!.humans are omnivores!.!.

let me show you somthing that will prove we are still onivores!.!.

If all the animals were let lose!.!.!.!.and every human could only eat what they found in the wild!.!.!.every vegetarian would be royally screwed as there simply isnt enough food in the wild!.!.!.where as an omnivore would live quite happily!.!.!.after all just one cow could feed a family for months!.!.!.!.what would vegetarians do!?

until you could all survive on the food in the wild then we will remain omnivoresWww@FoodAQ@Com

Humans are evolved to eat as many things as possible to aid in survival!.

We are at the point that we have the choice of being vegan or hunter gatherer with the same physical potential!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

We haven't evolved physically - we're still omnivores!.

Culturally, however, we have found and developed such a wide variety of food sources that eating meat is no longer necessary!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i think we've evolved to eat both meat and veggies and fruits and nuts!. the more we stray from those forms of food in their natural state, the more unhealthy it is for us!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, we still need the meat in our diets!. We are omnivores, we can live on just meat, or just vegetables, but an ideal diet has a balance of the two!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, humans were created to eat plants!. We weren't supposed to eat animals, but we do!.!. Which probably means we should each make our own choice and be happy to let others make theirs!. Not sure McDonalds is food though!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't think it has anything to do with evolution!.

Maybe an evolution of moral standings!?

Who knows!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Do your research we were veggies long before some moron thought it was a good idea to kill innocent animals to eat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Good grief, get a life, go to McDonalds and have a big mac, stop worrying !.Www@FoodAQ@Com
