Are Humans Natural Meat Eaters?

Humans are not meant to eat meat We are the healthiest when we avoid animal products and eat a plant-based diet.Many believe that humans are carnivores or omnivores. But if you look at the evidence, it is clear that we are herbivores, not meat eaters.

There are some striking differences between carnivores and herbivores.

Humans have short, soft fingernails and small “canine” teeth.

Carnivores have sharp claws and large canine teeth that are capable of tearing flesh. Their jaws move only up and down, requiring them to tear chunks of flesh from their prey and swallow them whole.

Humans and other herbivores can move their jaws up and down and from side to side. This allows us to grind up fruit and vegetables with our back teeth. Our anterior teeth are not suited for tearing flesh.

Animals who hunt have short intestinal tracts and colons. This allows the meat to pass through their bodies quickly before it can rot and cause illness.

Humans’ intestinal tracts are much longer than those of carnivores of similar size. Our intestines allow the body more time to break down fiber and absorb the nutrients from plants. Meat begins to rot while it makes its long way through human intestines.

The saliva of carnivorous animals does not contain digestive enzymes. Carnivores do not chew their food. Instead, they bite off huge chunks of meat and swallow them whole.

Herbivores need to chew their food to break plant cell walls and mix it with saliva. The saliva in plant eaters often contains carbohydrate-digesting enzymes that break down the food.

Carnivores have a huge stomach. It represents 60-70% of the total capacity of the digestive system. These animals kill about once a week. A large stomach volume is allows them to eat as much..
