Are Humans Designed To Eat Meat ?

We live in a world which is has been deeply conditioned, where we blindly accept general trends without even attempting to find out for ourselves the hows and the whys of our reality. So we easily buy into others ideas, projected onto the mass consciousness.

We come into this world and acquire all sorts of ideas and notions based on this "consensus reality" we hold dear as our dogma, not realizing the role of the individual and collective in manifesting the reality we experience. One of these ideas is that humans are omnivores, hence eating meat is natural for us.



After having seen this brilliant documentary called "Supercharge Me!" (which is all about the Raw Food Diet and it's health benefits) and reading a couple of articles on the subject, I am left with no doubt in my mind that avoiding eating meat is definitely a healthier choice ! There are numerous compelling facts presented in these articles which cite all the reasons why we weren't designed to eat meat ...







The prominent Swedish scientist Karl von Linne states, "Man's structure, external and internal, compared with that of the other animals, shows that fruit and succulent vegetables constitute his natural food." The points below compare the anatomy of man with that of carnivorous and herbivorous animals. When you look at the comparison between herbivores and humans, we compare much more closely to herbivores than meat eating animals. Humans are clearly not designed to digest and ingest meat.
  • Meat-eaters: have claws
  • Herbivores: no claws
  • Humans: no claws
  • Meat-eaters: have no skin pores and perspire through the tongue
  • Herbivores: perspire through skin pores
  • Humans: perspire through skin pores
  • Meat-eaters: have sharp front teeth for tearing, with no flat molar teeth for grinding
  • Herbivores: no sharp front teeth, but flat rear molars for grinding
  • Humans: no sharp front teeth, but flat rear molars for grinding
  • Meat-eaters: have intestinal tract that is only 3 times their body length so that rapidly decaying meat can pass through quickly
  • Herbivores: have intestinal tract 10-12 times their body length.
  • Humans: have intestinal tract 10-12 times their body length.
  • Meat-eaters: have strong hydrochloric acid in stomach to digest meat
  • Herbivores: have stomach acid that is 20 times weaker than that of a meat-eater
  • Humans: have stomach acid that is 20 times weaker than that of a meat-eater
  • Meat-eaters: salivary glands in mouth not needed to pre-digest grains and fruits.
  • Herbivores: well-developed salivary glands which are necessary to pre-digest grains and fruits
  • Humans: well-developed salivary glands, which are necessary to pre-digest, grains and fruits
  • Meat-eaters: have acid saliva with no enzyme ptyalin to pre-digest grains
  • Herbivores: have alkaline saliva with ptyalin to pre-digest grains
  • Humans: have alkaline saliva with ptyalin to pre-digest grains

While this is probably true for the majority of humans on earth, I know from personal experience, and confirmed by a professional holistic nutritionist, that there are people for whom animal protein is actually healthy.
