SOMMES NOUS OMNIVORES OU PT ETRE PAS????

SOURCE

SOMMES NOUS VRAIMENT CERTAINS D' ÊTRE OMNIVORES??? CERTAINS DISENT QUE CE N' EST PAS CERTAIN.
TOUS LES MAUVAIS ARGUMENTS AVANCÉS HABITUELLEMENT  REVUS D' UN AUTRE POINT DE VUE.

 LE SITE EST TRÈS INFORMATIF, A PARCOURIR AVEC UN PEU DE TEMPS LIBRE DEVANT SOI...

anatomical evidence tells us that we're optimized for eating mostly or exclusively plant foods. The only way to come to another conclusion is to ignore the bulk of the anatomical evidence, which is what my critics do. (They either use inferior evidence, such as disputed assumptions about the prehistoric diet, or they cherry-pick the anatomical evidence while ignoring the bulk of it.)
  • Most plant-eaters eat small amounts of non-plant foods, usually insects (either intentionally or inadvertently). Critics of this article zero in on this tiny non-plant consumption as though they've made some sort of point. The small non-plant consumption of plant-eating animals doesn't mean that they're "omnivores" in the classical sense, and certainly doesn't justify the idea that humans are adapted to a very mixed diet of plant and non-plant foods.
  • "Omnivore" doesn't mean 50% plants and 50% animals. Many of my critics consider chimpanzees to be omnivores but 95-99% of the chimp diet is plants, and most of the remainder isn't meat, it's termites. (see below) If humans are omnivores, then the anatomical evidence suggests that we're the same kind: the kind that eats almost exclusively plant foods.
  • The animals most similar to us, the other primates, eat an almost exclusively vegan diet.
  • Saying we're omnivores because we're capable of eating meat is just silly. We're capable of eating cardboard, too. And by the "capable" argument, then cats are omnivores too, since nearly every commercial cat food has plant ingredients. (Check the label.) Nobody would ever make the argument that cats are omnivores based on what they're capable of eating. But they sure make that argument for humans, enthusiastically.
  • Our so-called "canine teeth" are "canine" in name only. Other plant-eaters (like gorillas, horses, and hippos) have "canines", and chimps, who are almost exclusively vegan, have massive canines compared to ours. (See picture below.)
  • Our early ancestors from at least four million years ago were almost exclusively vegetarian. (source, article #5)
  • Among animals, plant-eaters have the longest lifespans, and humans are certainly in that category (and yes, this was true even before modern medicine).
  • We sleep about the same amount of time as other herbivores, and less than carnivores and true omnivores.

  • The most common cause of choking deaths is eating meat. (source) Real carnivores and omnivores don't have that problem.

THANKS!!!!
animals suffer so much in this "modern world" that I consider it a duty to try helping them... When ppl don't know they tend to abuse more, so I try to share information. Have a great day!!
