Are we designed to eat Meat???

It's human nature to instinctively defend our choices in life. No one likes to be told they have lived their whole life believing something which was not true, hence the massive defensive argument ensues,  which also entails defending something as mundane as our eating habits.

Let's take up the facts: Human beings by design are anatomical designed to be herbivores.

Distinctive features of carnivores:
•In nature all carnivores  have "canine" teeth. With the single function to bite into it's prey for killing or paralyzing. Humans have canine teeth but they are not "true canine" teeth.

•Carnivores are also designed to have the ability to open their mouths as larger than their face to facilitate large kill area and quick consumption of meat.

•Carnivores do Not chew their food. It's either consumed whole or sized down to swallow. Only Herbivores chew their food & release digestive saliva in their mouth to partially digest the food before ingesting.

Since humans don't and never had any of the above traits hence we are not even Omnivorous.

The China Study by Professor Campbell states that meat and fat are causing the epidemic of degenerative diseases that we see in the West. The China Study is revered as the Rosetta Stone of the vegan creed, oft-cited as prima facie evidence for the superiority of a meat and dairy-free diet.

Now there is enough evidence to support that Milk if not "Breast Milk" is never fully absorbed by the human body & is passed through our digestive system largely undigested. The calcium which is needed for bone development is only required in large amounts during infancy, post which we can consume the required quantities through green vegetables.

For my own reasoning, I just look at nature. there is no adult species that drinks milk past adolescence. If nature says NO, it is only human ego which replies say "Yes I will because I Can."
