TIM NEWMAN:<\/strong> \u2018Are humans \u201cdesigned\u201d to eat meat \u2014 did we evolve to consume it? Anatomically, it seems to be a simple one. We don\u2019t look like carnivores; our teeth are no good for ripping flesh, and our guts are too long. Are we herbivores, then? No; our guts aren\u2019t long enough, and our teeth don\u2019t quite fit the bill\u2026 The human gut is very similar to that of our closest relatives: monkeys and apes. It follows that, if we are looking to work in harmony with our guts\u2019 design, our diet should be at least similar to our cousins\u2019. When we examine the diet of virtually all monkeys and apes, it\u2019s nuts, fruits, leaves, insects, and the occasional snack of flesh. You may have seen rather shocking footage of adult chimpanzees killing and eating baby ones, but that\u2019s a relative rarity compared with the quantities of non-meat products consumed. From these observations, we can perhaps conclude that evolutionarily speaking, we shouldn\u2019t necessarily be vegetarian and evolved to eat only the occasional tidbit of animal matter\u2026 But, just because something has been done for eons, it doesn\u2019t mean that we necessarily need to continue down the same path\u2019.<\/em> SOURCE\u2026<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
