I always thought we were omnivores, and that has been my usual counterargument against vegetarian or vegan lifestyles. But come to think about it, I never took the time to research biological aspects that may prove that point.
After a few minutes in Google I came across two very interesting articles about how humans are really more like herbivores:
- The Comparative Anatomy of Eating, by Milton R. Mills, M.D.
At the end of this article there's a wildly interesting comparison table between herbivore, carnivore omnivore species, and humans.
- Eating meat is not natural, by Michael Bluejay.
This article tackles the common counterarguments against vegetarian eating. I'm guilty of having used most of them. After reading this article, I agree with most, if not all the points that Mr. Bluejay makes.
I'm really thinking about this...
