But our teeth were designed to eat meat?

The fact is, our teeth can bite through flesh, this week know, however our teeth and system cannot handle the hide of animal, real omnivorous animals will eat the hair skin and flesh of the animal killed. If it were possible for us chase a fleeing animal and then take the animal down and bite through the skin to the flesh with tools then we might be a more natural omnivore.

What is natural though, some people might say that the fact that we developed tools and systems to kill bacteria from meat (e.g. cooking) that this is in fact our natural progression as human animals. I agree. However just because we make it possible does not make it right, therefore our teeth were no more designed to eat meat than our hands designed to choke our neighbors or hold the gun which murders our fellow human.

Simply put. We don’t know if our bodies are designed to consume meat. One thing is sure, that is, meat causes more health problems, cancers, diabetes, osteoporosis and heart disease than a vegan diet by a long shot.
