another rant
Hre in Orlando, on the FM talk radio, there is this new jerk on in the afternoon. They were talking about vegetarianism, and the host said, "It's not right if you don't eat meat, the human body was designed to eat meat, our teeth, our stomachs, everything." Now as most vegetarians/vegans know, this is completely untrue. It's just frustating to hear ( Read more... )
Compare human teeth to a known meat eater, like a dog or cat.
Humans are ill equipped for eating unprocessed meat due to the shape of their teeth (bluntness). Sweet little dog butts have meat killing machine teeth. Our teeth more resemble badgers...
Our digestive system is not well suited for meat either, it takes about 12 hours of meat nastying up our system to get it out. Versus meat eating animals, which generally go to the bathroom about an hour after eating.
I don't really know about the appendix thing, I've never really looked into it. My question always was, do cultures where people have been vegan for thousands of years still have functioning appendixes??? look it up for me Alica... NOW! :) I mean accustomed in the sense that it's really hard to remove something that's such an integral part of your life. It's so commonplace to have animal products in the most obscure places, which you don't realize until you try to stop eating it. Gelatin is everywhere, ewww.
Okay this was not the best response I could have given, but I am lazy and have a final to study for.

and i wasnt aware that there are actually cultures who are entirely vegan, but i know that the appendix released enzymes that made breaking down plant matter easier. or something. of course if for thousands of years humans switched to meat it would become useless whether it was supposed to or not....
it doesnt matter either way, because i dont have one. so fie on the appendix and all of it's horrors.
