Did you do that experimenting in your own lab? Were you wearing a lab coat?
I was actually quite the fan of eating raw meat at one time. Beef carppacio and all that. It's cut really thin for a reason. And it's still really hard to chew. Therefore, I can draw the logical conclusion that since raw meat 1/8 of an inch thick is hard to chew, 6 inches of it would be almost impossible. No lab coat necessary.

im sorry dum.spiro. but thats kinda weird. and i have a question for you. if every animal was put on earth for a purpose then whats the purpose of the pig(even though i dont eat pig), or a cow. we're supposed to eat them...dear.
Maybe for carnivores to eat? Aka, not us. And FYI, the cows, pigs, and chickens you see in a farm were never put on this earth. They were created by humans. They are so far removed from their species in the wild that they couldn't survive on their own.

Not to argue, but Hamsters, and most likely Gerbils, do eat meat. I just looked it up in my set of encyclopedias....(ya know...those books we used before the internet..LOL.) Who really knows what's in those little pellets pet owners feed them!? I've never had a hamster, but I've heard stories of how they will eat their young.
Tons of animals eat their young. It usually implies either a nutritional deficincy (natures way of making sure only the animals that the earth can support are kept allive) or because the animal was too young to have a litter. Not all of them are carnivores. Gerbils were just an example of sharp-toothed creatures that don't need to eat meat. Ever seen a horses teeth? Sharp as hell. Not for tearing flesh though. A little excerpt from a horse-lovers
web site:
"Male horses usually have four canine teeth, one in each bar--the toothless span between the incisors and premolars--and some mares also produce a pair of canine teeth"
A lot of herbivores have canines. In fact, I won't say all because I don't know, but I bet it'd be hard to find herbivores that don't have canines.

lol your funny really. We're omnivores if you didn't know. We eat both so we need both kinds of things. Why do you think that guy that only ate carrots turned green? And that our ancestors ate meat, when all other animals stuck to their meat or vege diet, except omnivores.
I don't eat both. I don't need both. If vegetarians can not only survive, but are actually healthier than the average person, what in the world would make you say that we have to (or should) eat meat. Here's an interesting fact, the only type of animal whose cholesterol increases after eating saturated fats (found almost exclusively in meat/eggs/dairy) is herbivores. Our cholesterol increases when we consume saturated fats. Hmm...
And all the evidence suggests that our early ancestors ate a very vegan diet, almost 99%, same as our chimp cousins do.

We do have nails which can grow to great lengths. We have evolved into not needing them to be so long and sharp. We were also given the thought process to create things like forks and knives as well as bows and I guess knives again.
Are you trying to equate a tiger's claws with human fingernails? There's a reason we had to invent weapons, because our "claws" are capable of no real damage. And if we couldn't hunt animals until we invented those tools, wouldn't you kind of wonder if we were meant to eat it in the first place?

As I said before we are omnivores and we have evolved. Who says we might not have once perspired through our tounges but evolved into not needing them or because it is easier.
Humans have never perspired though our tongues.
CanadianGuy said:
We do have canine teeth and as I said we are omnivores. We have canine teeth and flat molars
See above horse quote for other herbivores that also have canines.
CanadianGuy said:
We are omnivores. We have evolved so we can not eat raw meet who says we did not evolve to a longer intestinal tract. Just like how we cannot drink water right from a lake stream or river.
We actually could drink straight from streams and rivers for thousands of years until we started polluting them. And it sounds like you are saying that humans have un-evolved. And if our ancestors could eat meat raw, why did they cook it?

Ahm. The definition of murder is: "The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice"
So there you have it we kill living plants don't we both are not very intelligent thoguh I do no think killing smarter animals or endangered ones is apropriate
I have never said that killing animals is the same as murder. I hold human life to be worth more than animals. But that doesn't mean we should kill them unnecessarily. And eating meat is unnecessary.
And I'm sure you're aware that pigs are as smart as dogs. So why don't we eat dogs?

i have a question. why are we argueing about meat. i dont care if people eat meat and vegetarians shouldnt care if i eat meat. i think im the only person in PETA that eats meat. but i have vegetarian freinds and sometimes they try to get me to be one and honestly, im not ganna stop eating meat. and im not convincing any vegetarians to start cause honestly the vegetarians have better reasons to not eat meat. so unless im spoken to directly im not ganna reply any here any more and im ganna stick with sports. bye
I don't care what other people eat. I just have fun showing why my diet is superior.
