I get the feeling either you're not trying very hard here, or you're talking more out of dogma than thought or research. Either way I'm done. |
Hmm, I have problems with my stainless steel knives staying sharp. Wouldn't you rather just pick some fruit or eat some nuts than kill an animal that's really fast? Plants seem like a much easier target.

Yeah and chimps killing baby chimps and raping female chimps. What's your point? I say our body is best built to digest plant foods, not animal foods.
When you look up frugivore in wikipedia, the first thing you see is a picture of an orangutan. I don't know about you, but I think it would be much easier to get most of my calories from picking fruit from a tree then it would be to kill an animal and eat it raw.
You guys do a pretty good job attacking my arguments but you do not bring up many valid points to suggest that our body is
designed to eat plant foods. Yes, we CAN eat meat, but is it GOOD for us?
Please, answer me a few questions...
How is our body setup to eat meat? I'm not talking about our ability to kill animals and eat them, I'm talking about our digestive system.
What do we gain from eating meat? Is it necessary for optimal functioning?
Why don't we have TASTE BUDS for protein?? You would think if we were
designed to eat meat, we would at least have the canivorous/omnivorous taste buds to enjoy this food without altering it.
Why do people live longer when they eat a mostly plant-based diet?
Why is erectile disfunction related to high levels of cholesterol? (or is this just not true?)
