anatomy says otherwise

"What I am saying is that humans were not made to be omnivores."
I'd like you to explain why you think this. You have explained that the human digestive system can successfully digest and extract nutrients from meat, which instead enforces the idea that we are omnivorous. The thought has also been supported by someone pointing out that we have teeth for both ripping meat apart, like those of a carnivore, and for crushing plants, like those of a herbivore.
What has you convinced that we are not omnivores? |

Are digestive track is LONGER than carnivores, so it digest the FAT in it.
Anyways PLEASE, if you are going to argue with me, read The China Study. :) |

Because humans digest the fat of meat, we aren't omnivores?

Carnivores and omnivores actually eat their meat raw, because there digestive system can handle the bacteria.
Ours can't, we have to cook it, or we will get sick. That doesn't say anything.
Our teeth are not meant for meat eating, if you would open your eyes, natural meat eaters, such as omnivores and carnivores have larger teeth, to tear through fur and skin. I'd like to see you use your teeth for that. Also, "Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances of survival for life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet."

'why are they sharp'
I'd like to see a human tear through the fur and skin of a live animal.
We don't have the jaw force to do so. Our puny little canine teeth can't do much, unless it is cooked.
I never said animals aren't immune to disease, I said that they CAN digest the bacteria in a dead carcass.
I don't even know why I am wasting my time with this, you guys aren't open minded enough. No offense to anyone. You guys are kinda stubborn. |

| Ugh, okay, I dont think vegetarians are natural though because if I was a vegetarian I would die because if I go without meat for like 3 hours, I get shaky and nauseous |

| That is the cause of something else hon, it's not from lack of meat, I promise. It's proably caused by not eating enough food? Even vegetarians can be unhealthy if they eat only potato chips and icecream. |

| I respect all and every person. Whether I do not agree, or understand, I still will respect your opinion. Vegetarians choose their life, so if you don't like it, don't say anything. I personally am not a vegetarian, as I do not completely agree, but let's lay off of them for living the way they choose. |

You can eat raw meat.
"Our teeth are not meant for meat eating, if you would open your eyes, natural meat eaters, such as omnivores and carnivores have larger teeth, to tear through fur and skin. I'd like to see you use your teeth for that."
I'm pretty sure I could chew through a live animal's skin. Human canine and even our visors are actually pretty edged. |

human beings used to be able to eat meat raw you know
once fire was discovered and meat was cooked(presumably because it tasted better) humans slowly lost the ability to eat raw meat |

This is all because humans were meant to use tools. We can cook, so we no longer need a bacteria-resistant digestive system. Our teeth do not need to be so strong because we can use tools to keep the animal from resisting. |
