Are we vegatarians???

I have a friend whose mom is a vegetarian and she said people are naturally herbivores. I think it's crap. Is it true?

Pure malarkey. The fact that we have incisors (the teeth that resemble fangs) is proof that we were intended to rend flesh from the bone. Herbivores have a head full of molars for eating mush...we don't. Tell your friends mom to go back to California with the rest of her hippie friends!

Well, I think the shape of our teeth is determined by the food we eat.

My brother said that isn't true because we have gall bladders. I forget the reason he gave, but it was something about gall bladders only being necessary for meat-eating animals.

Are there any animals that are true omnivores?

You've got it backwards, my man. We were designed a specific way, just as cars are designed to run on a certain type of fuel. Do you think if you had nothing but molars you could force yourself to eat meat and develop bicuspids and incisors? Not likely. Just like a shark could not survive solely on seaweed, it has been made to tear flesh and digest it. Us too.

Well, I think the shape of our teeth is determined by the food we eat.When baby's teeth are growing in they're pretty much on formula and mush. And they still grow in the shape needed to eat meat and stuff like that. Explain that.

If you're talking about evolution then yes, we've evolved by eating meat.

If we weren't supposed to eat animals, they wouldn't be made out of meat.

We are omivores not carnivores or vegetarians. Our teeth are uniquely shaped to be able to efficiently eat plants and annimals.

True vegetarians, like gorillas, evolved to have broad flat teeth with lots of cusps so as to best grind (and thereby more easily digest) the vast amount of foliage they need to eat every day to survive.

True carnivores, have mostly pointed teeth so as to best rip and tear flesh. Examples are baboons and tigers.

We weren't created onmnivores, we evolved that way. Some species developed the strategy of getting their calories by eating large quantities of plants. Other species developed the strategy of eating much less, but higher calorie and energy rich meat. We evolved the best strategy of all - being able to eat both. No doubt this was due to eras when there was scarce amount of both types of food available. Species who can eat any available food have a distinct survival advantage.

Anthropologists argue that civilization was only possible because we are omnivores, although some have pointed out that it is much more efficient to eat foods directly instead of using them to feed animals which we then eat.

GNM - Some types of evolution (a temporary increase in phenotype for example) can occur in a short time, but for major changes like jaw structure it takes millions of years.

Screw R&F. They stole my conversation completely. From now on, it's just Mason & Kolinsky for me. ;)
