Thread: Any vegetarians out there?

I have tried going vegan once. I didn't care for it, however I have reduced my meats to small portions and quality cuts. I've increased my intake vegetables and fruits and with that I've lost 25 solid pounds in 8 months. I believe the humans are omnivore. Eating meat is our nature. We have incisors for a reason.

I don't mean to be rude but that's a poor argument.
What reason then would this vegan have for such incisors?

It is more accurate to consider the length of your intestinal tract.

I googled this and found:

Chimpanzees absolutely eat meat! And yes they love it, and yes they digest it just fine. Usually they eat monkeys. You can find many videos of chimps hunting and killing monkeys, which is not for the squeamish--it's horrible to behold.

Cannibalism has also been noted in chimps, mainly the eaten chimp is an infant that has been killed by an older male. Not all incidences of infanticide result in cannibalism, but the cannibalism has been seen before.

Gorillas do not eat meat. I don't believe that orangs do, and bonobos do not either.

As for as non-ape primates, baboons hunt and eat meat (and have killed smaller monkeys and even human infants), as well as langurs and various other odd species of monkeys.

Well I didn't mean it like the only reason was to eat meat.
