Vegetarian and Vegans?

[Eddyking]

Yesterday, I was talking to my friend who is a vegan. While talking to her, she said that we are natural vegetarians and that humans are not meant to eat meat. I told her that we aren't. How can we be natural herbivores if we can't even breakdown cellulose? Or the fact that we have CANINE teeth?

I respect vegetarians and vegans. I believe a plant-based diet is a tad more healthy then a meat based one but I completely disagree with my friends argument.

So javascript:BBSPost.Save();what say you NG, is vegetarianism the natural diet of Homo sapiens sapiens?

Hell no.

We have survived for centuries off meat. It's a fucking fact that early man spent his time hunting for meat. I respect vegetarians/vegans too, but saying that vegetarianism is the natural diet of humans is just fucking wrong.

We're omnivores by nature. We have teeth for ripping meat, and teeth for chewing plants.

[Ejit]

Cellulose is a fibre, though we can't digest it, it's still an important part of our diet.

You're right. We're omnivores, but we need not be considering present day farming, as we can easily get by without.

Fixed.

[Racoonmario]

As already stated, we are omnivores. I once read that an average person should eat about 100 gram meat per week. We could do without though.

Uh I think not.

Originally, there were two strains of Australopithecus: one herbivore, the other carnivore.

The herbivore developed a stronger jaw but remained with a small brain, since plants aren't a challenge to find.

The carnivore developed a bigger brain, because they were mostly scavengers and finding good carrion wasn't an easy task. It eventually evolved into the Homo Erectus, and finally ended up having us as its descendants.

I had it once a while.

That. I used to be convinced that we were natural herbivores, until I saw both sides of the argument.

I still am a vegetarian though.

vegeterians tend to be ugly lesbians who turned to women because they are not loved by men.

No way I am a Meatosaurs.

[SeaBoundRhino]

It's a personal opinion, or a health thing in some cases. So it doesn't matter whether it's 'natural' or not.

[Lost-Chances]

While we're not designed to be vegetarian or vegan, it is possible. I don't have a problem with anyone who wants to be as long if their reasons aren't shit (e.g. moral reasons, because they'd rather let animals go extinct than to let them live).

[SgtBrainDead]

its healthier but lets face the facts who doesnt want a big juicy steak or some ribs to eat?

[Master117chief]

I fuckin love meat, especialy very raw and bloody!

Enjoy your e-coli.

[BrockManson]

We're perfectly capable of surviving without meat, so she's half right when she says we're not meant to. Just as you're right for saying we can't fully digest celulose and have canine teeth.

I just think the fact that we're so adaptable nutrition-wise is rather handy tbh.

[CritcalOne]

Being vegan can cause faster arm fractures.

[james44445]

i respect a vegetarians right to not eat meat, i think its stupid, but its their choice.

vegans, however, are retards.

[RubberTrucky]

Meat tends to murder us, though...

I disagree.

our earlier "ancestors" survived off mostly meat but as we were scavengers in the very early years we might of eaten anything and the ice age would of left many plants unable to produce and thing worth eating and meat is also credited (at least i think so) for helping us evolve into such a smart race as we are

I'd think if our race was so smart, we'd have conquered the use of periods.

[Dragoonwing]

It always seems to be the females that are vegetarians or vegans. I have yet to meet the male version of either.

Anyways I think we're all allowed to eat me and if you choose not to then you're missing out. Ah well, not like I can tell you what to do.

Thank you for saying that.

BTW: I don't consume anything that's green. Yet I have a proper shitter.

Punctuation is a component of grammar.
