I can't find the studies in full on the net, but you should look to the British medical journal vegetarian study, an the Oxford vegetarian study.

And I was hoping maybe you could tell me, seeing as I was asking the question :p.

I answered your question as best I could with the knowledge you gave me. I asked you where you'd got your information, you haven't told me, so I assume you got it from where I suggested.

I don't find it obvious that we can get all necessary nutrients from plants, so I'm hoping you can show me that we do. And not from a biased source.

---

You are kidding me?! You don't know what's in the food that you eat, an you want me to find an unbiased source to tell you...... :O_O: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_groups If you look at meat an meat alternatives, you'll see that any nutrient in meat, can be obtained from a meat alternative.

If your canines are the same size as a dogs, you're deformed! If you gave your dog a bone to chew on, an then you tried chewing on it, guess what would happen to your teeth.

I don't know about northerners (yankees...), but the farmhouses we have down here generally just chop the animals head off with a chainsaw or axe. Painless, usually.

Is it really? How many times have you been cut with an axe an chainsaw to know that?

The purpose of the canine, in any event, is what I was attempting to address. They are meant to cut meat. If we didn't need them, we wouldn't have them.

As I've already shown you, you're wrong. Here it is again: Teeth (Canines)
Carnivore: Long, sharp and curved.
Herbivore: Dull and short or long (for defense), or none.
Omnivore: Long, sharp and curved.
Human: Short and blunted.


Humans canines are more like a herbivores, than an omnivores, or a carnivores. Herbivores can have canine teeth. Herbivores don't eat meat. If canine teeth were made for meat eating, herbivores wouldn't have them.

I like vegetables a lot more than meat, but that's only because I'm very particular with how much fat my meat has on it. I don't like the taste of some things too, but htat isn't a good enough excuse to go completely vegetarian.

i eat both meat and veggies. but i don't mind cutting meat out of my diet.

erm... you forgot to add Vegan >.>

that aside im an Omnivore

I eat anything except for vegetables

screw health and weight
"Laugh and grow fat"(a cookie to who gets the reference)

strangely I am very underweight (I weigh 45 KG and I am 16)

Vegan. Have been for about a year now.

I'm an omnivore. And I'm not evil.

I'm an omnivore :]

I'm an omnivore. But then again, i'm a eat-everything-in-sight-vore too.

Veggis and babies mmm.

i was surprised from the poll

Insectivore. Centipedes are yummy. :bigmsile:

In reality though, omnivore.

opportunistic omnivore...laka racoon :D!?!?!!!

I'm an omnivore...

And btw, so do you think an axe or chainsaw death that takes a few seconds is more or less humane than say... if a wolf caught an animal and tore it limb from limb and started eating it?

Carnivorism and omnivorism are natural. We aren't doing anything less humane to animals than animals do to themselves.


EDIT: Also, on your argument about teeth: Most apes roughly share our tooth structure and are omnivorous.

I'm an omnirvore. I was a vegetarian for like, maybe a year and a half awhile ago, but not anymore. I don't eat a whole ton of meat anyways, though. Except fish. I eat a lot of fish.
