Yes we are. Human beings are omnivores. (evolved to eat both plant and animal tissue) The whole purpose for canine teeth is eating meat.

If that's true then why is it complicated for humans to get all our required proteins without eating meat? Wouldn't it be super easy and uncomplicated to have a totally vegan or vegetarian diet and still be really healthy. I don't know about your magical world, but in mine both are difficult life choices that take commitment and planning for every single meal to keep yourself healthy.

Our mouth structure begs to differ

My dear friend, Australopithecus Afarensis aka "Lucy" was the last humanoid to specifically eat plants only. Since then, we have evolved smaller teeth and masseter muscles (along with the use of fire) to eat cooked meat as our primary source of protein and fat, both vital to human survival. Meat-eating is one of the reason we still don't look like chimpanzees. Source: anthropology course which I have to wake up for in 4 hours.

Canine teeth were originally used for fighting and scaring enemies from our pre-humanoid era, such as how they are used still by chimpanzees and gorillas. They just shrunk like the rest of our teeth, but functioned to tear meat off the bones before the use of fire to cook food (around 5-6 Mya).

12 - i dont know what kind of animal you are then

To paraphrase Mean Girls, #12 is too stupid to function. Please do not reproduce; you will most likely kill your child by accidental malnutrition, or by giving them a toaster to play with in the bath-tub...you seem that stupid.

We're omnivores, meaning we are designed to eat and digest meat. What our bodies aren't designed to digest is chemicals and hormones, which is in much of our food, not just meat.

You know what jello is made of, right?

Do you know? Jello ie; gelatin is ground up bone marrow. So yes starting slowly with jello would help.

I don't know why #19 is getting thumbed down. Jello seems like a pretty good starter for the body if you're eating meat again. Even if doesn't work, it is worth a try.

I agree jello would help, but why did he mention the cheese?

I suppose cheese has lots of fats that come from animals....although it isn't animal itself, maybe it reacts similar in the stomach or something or isn't as far away from meat as just eating pulses? I have no idea why that makes someone a bad vegetarian. Vegan, sure, but not veggie. Some cheese has animal rennet but most is fine.

And bacon.

Bacon is very unhealthy. It's also disgusting

Oh get a grip. Yes, it's unhealthy. So? You can eat it every once in a while, no need to deprive your body of unhealthy things. Just eat them in moderation. I also find it ironic that your username is "Lil ham." Lol.

Bacon creates happiness, happiness reduces stress, Less stress means better health, therefore bacon is healthy

Yeah, cocaine relieves my stress. Ergo, cocaine is healthy (with your logic).

Well 109 if you're on cocaine I wouldn't trust logic to be a sound factor in the first place...bacon is a food, not a drug

I suppose you could have healthy cocaine use. Probably not the easiest thing, but doable in moderation.

Actually, cocaine (generally in liquid form) and cocaine derivatives are still used by some medical practices.

I'm surprised it took this long for that pun. Bravo!

And your comment makes you sound like an ignorant twat.

Good advice. Meat actually is not a cure for anything. As long as you eat healthy, being vegetarian is very beneficial and rewarding.

My friend had to switch back because he wasn't getting the right amount of nutrients and he wasn't absorbing enough by taking pills or substitutes. He was doing vegetarianism correctly, his body just disliked it. It's not for everyone.
