Or vice versa. If you can bang two rocks together to make a blade, you don't need sharp teeth. If you can make a pointy stick and throw it at your prey, then you don't need claws. And if you can track an animal for hours and communicate with others to hunt and ambush prey, then you don't need to be a particularly fast runner. And while humans aren't particularly fast, they are very good distance runners and with patience and the help of tools like a canteen for water, can outdistance faster animals until they collapse from exhaustion and move in for the kill. Our biology dictates animal foods for good health. A completely plant based diet is unhealthy and unnatural for us. It lacks many vitamins, nutrients and essential fats that only come from animal based foods. Think about this. A human can survive and thrive on a diet that is 100% meat based. The Inuit traditionally have a diet that is almost 100% meat, and of that a lot comes in the form of fat and blubber. Yet they did not suffer from diabetes, cavities, heart disease or other diseases of civilization until they were "civilized". They also did not get scurvy. Wild game and grass fed meat can supply enough vitamin C if it is eaten raw or minimally cooked. On the other hand, a person eating a plant based diet needs to take heroic measures to ensure their foods are mixed well to get the proper balance. Even then, most vegetarians and vegans need to take a lot of supplements to get the nutrients they need. Humans digest meat quite nicely, in fact it digests meat faster than it does most plant foods. In fact, without cooking, grains would be indigestible and beans would be poisonous. And processed meats are more responsible for colon cancer than meat itself. P.S. You're wrong about cardboard. It is cellulose, so it is indigestible and contains no nutrients. And the short lifespan has to do with the ardor of Arctic life and not their diet. If they do not die from murder, falling through the ice, getting eaten by a polar bear or getting impaled by a narwhale, the Inuit can live a very long life free from diseases of civilization. P.P.S.RapidSpeed', I'm giving you a thumbs up. Your answer made me laugh. We are omnivores with carnivorous tendencies. Or vice versa.
