The Carnivore's Dilemma
For many meat-eaters, the idea of being a
vegetarian just doesn't seem natural. In fact,
carnivores often make the argument that humans
are supposed to be meat eaters, and that's the
way it's always been.
the fact that remnants of
plants have been found stuck
in Neanderthal teeth
the expert opinion that
humans have always been
carnivores
The truth is many doctors, such as Dr. William C.
Roberts, the editor of the American Journal of
Cardiology, would argue that the opposite is true.
Dr. Roberts believes that humans are actually
natural herbivores, and he has plenty of evidence
to back up his belief. Just take a look at your
hands. Do you see razor sharp claws that are
perfect for tearing open the flesh of prey? No,
neither do I. Humans also lack other features that
natural predators have, such as specialized teeth
and a digestive system that is made for
processing meat
the fact that the human
digestive system is not made
for processing meat
the expert opinion that
humans are natural herbivores
