Hey, you're a Guru like me.Our teeth do not support that man is a carnivore. Otoh, we have some teeth that can be used for eating meat...In a pinch.
Mmmm, medium rare please.

Omnivore.
Our teeth also do not support getting all the nutrition we need from plants. If we were to do that we would have to eat so much that the amount of chewing we would need to do would wear our teeth right down to our gums long before we ever reached old age. Ever notice the tremendous volume of plants a cow has to eat in a day? Basically when a Herbivore animal is awake, it's either eating or chewing it's cud (another part of the digestive process we don't have but is needed to be a true vegetarian). Also the teeth of true vegetarian animals like cows are designed much differently so they can do all this chewing without wearing them out. It's simply not true that human teeth were also designed for this. Not to mention that herbivorous such as cows have multiple stomachs and other major differences in their digestive systems so they can handle the massive amounts of plants they eat and digest them in a way (such as fermentation) that produces the nutrition they need. That's why humans that try to go against nature and be true vegetarians end up having to take a lot of supplements to stay healthy and properly nourished in the long term. Humans that eat a balanced omnivorous diet as we were intended do not need these supplements and are generally much healthier than vegetarians.Our teeth do not support that man is a carnivore.

What's it take to be a swami? More posts? If so, maybe, cuz I'm on a newish smartphone (2) and its tough n confusing for me. I have more typos now too :madHey, you're a Guru like me.
I bet I become a Swami before you.

Of course, in a way I really am a vegetarian. Cows eat only vegetables, and I eat cows. So I'm eating vegetables, only with a different delivery system than someone who cooks them in a pot.

I think I heard that before, that our teeth don't really support us being herbivores either.
We never had cows, but the horses teeth were flat. I do see some differences.
So we're not really carnivores or herbivores... Maybe our teeth our custom, for heavenly cuisine?? But we messed up.
Yes, they not only have more teeth designed for grinding plants than we do, but their enamel is also much thicker and harder so they don't wear out so fast when chewing for most of their waking hours every day of their lives. And even with all that, most of them don't live anywhere near the 80 to 100 years that we do. So their total chewing time would be much less than ours would be if we actually were vegetarians.What's it take to be a swami? More posts?

Adam and Eve were herbivores in the Garden of Eden. Their diet was switched to omnivore sometime after the ground was cursed. Who knows how the curse affected vegetative nutrition.
WARNING: Possible evolutionary ideas ahead. Thou has been warned.
Herbivores like cows have long and complex digestive tracts designed to extract and absorb all the trace nutrients from seemingly simple diets such as grass and little else. A slow and sedentary lifestyle then supports muscle mass-building with relatively little energy relegated to high-energy activities such as hunting and predation.
Carnivores tend to have shorter digestive tracks as there is much less "converting" to do. They capture and injest prey that is histologically already similar to their own.
Man is kind of a last-minute omnivore. Our digestive tracts are relatively longish, supporting herbivorist metabolism, and as already pointed out, our teeth definitely has an herbivore architecture. Carnivorism seems to be a late add-on, and allowed pushing a mainly herbivorous system into a wider niche, or dual niches, for added adaptative capability. We can gather and eat a vegetarian diet, or hunt and harvest live prey. The double option affords us a valuable extra degree of freedom in the scramble up the food chain.
We'd probably be healthier, and see much less disease, if we returned to a largely vegetarian diet. That said, I had meatloaf for lunch. Hey, my Mom's meatloaf!
Dogs are the opposite: meat-based, but will eat vegetation in a pinch. Not gonna say that's good for their digestive system, but eh.WARNING: Possible evolutionary ideas ahead. Thou has been warned.
