I know I’m going to get a lot of 'dislikes' about this, but before I start
please keep an open mind and don’t judge before you read this, your first post
about pro-meat eating.
WE ARE GENETICALLY OMNIVORES!
The first and most obvious reason why vegetarianism is not in our nature is, it
goes against the basis of science, the biological and genetic making of the
human body. We are omnivores, born that way for generations probably since the
beginning of Human life. If we look at the vegetarian species, they all don’t
stop eating, they eat all day. Elephants, giraffes and cows consume more food
than any carnivore on the planet. And what is the common characteristic among
them? They are all huge! I’m not saying, if you become vegetarian you will get
bigger but those animals are that big for a reason. In their bellies you can
find the biggest digestive systems in the world, which allows them to eat that
much. Something the tiny human digestive system can’t do. The reason why they
need to eat that much is because the body absorbs about 30 to 60% of the
nutriments and vitamins in vegetarian food, and close to 90% of the ones in
meat. Fibre is very hard to digest; our stomachs need to take breaks
through-out the day, so we can’t eat as much as big animals and certainly not
from the same kind. If we do, our stomachs become loose and the more we eat the
more we need, not mentioning how gassy we would become, something no one wants.
Gas is not only uncomfortable, it can become painful, the whole process of
bloating disturbs digestion. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying eating
vegetables are not good for you and I’m not saying meat is the only food you
should eat. All I’m saying is that since we are omnivores we need a balance of
both.
