Except a gorilla DOES eat meat.
First Proof Gorillas Eat Monkeys? There are plenty of links to choose from. I just figured a NG link would be more credible for most peoples pallets.
On top of that, the amount of bugs they eat over time is also plenty of protein. But even then, their bodies are more adapted to eating vegetables including their very sedentary lifestyle and gobs of stored fat for the winter month. Herbivores also have a variety of specialized digestive organs capable of breaking down cellulose. Us humans find cellulose totally indigestible, and even plant eaters have to take their time with it, seeing how we don't' have an enlarged cecum to store that plant material, vs the gorilla. We need to stop comparing ourselves to other current mammals and look back at our own ancestry instead.
Still tho, I won't argue that the U.S. diet is any better then being a vegetarian. And honestly, when you become a vegetarian, and do your research, you will be more healthy then most of the people in the U.S. For the sheer fact that being one usually means you have to pay close attention to what you eat, and normally that means cutting out all junk food. But not always, as there are many unhealthy vegetarians out there.
PS. Contrary to the whole " if humans were meant to eat meat, we wouldn't have to cook it" argument, I LOVE raw everything. Raw steak. Raw fish. Raw eggs. Raw ( what ever else I haven't tried).
