thank fsm. In The Murder Scene Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 20564 | earth2themorgue: Some herbivores also have canines for things such as tearing the skin of fruits in the wild, so that isn't entirely off-base I suppose. |
riot reality Jazz Hands Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 295 | I'm a vegetarian (because my parents won't let me be a vegan). Since becoming one, I've been healthier, and I eat a much bigger variety than I had before. I believe it's just the ethical thing to do. I don't really want to eat something used to be alive. Plus, I think humans are better suited to be herbivores that to be omnivores. Die! Die! Die! : Space Brain: Eponine: Just to name a few :p Anyway. Ahem. I forgot where I found this, but it's pretty informative. I didn't read through the whole thread, so do forgive me if this has already been seen here. Mouth opening compared to head size Carnivore: large Herbivore: small Omnivore: large Human: small Teeth- incisors Carnivore: short and pointed Herbivore: broad, flattened and spade-shaped Omnivore: short and pointed Human: broad, flattened and spade-shaped Teeth- canines Carnivore: long, sharp and curved Herbivore: dull and short, or long for defense, or none Omnivore: long, sharp and curved Human: short and blunted Teeth- molars Carnivore: sharp, jagged and blade-shaped Herbivore: flattened with cusps vs. complex surface Omnivore: sharp blades and/or flattened Human: Flattened with nodular cusps Chewing Carnivore: none, swallows food whole Herbivore: extensive chewing required Omnivore: Swallows food whole and/or with simple crushing Human: extensive chewing is almost always required Stomach type Carnivore: simple Herbivore: simple or multiple chambers Omnivore: simple Human: simple Length of small intestine Carnivore: 3-6 times body length Herbivore: 10-12+ times body length Omnivore: 4-6 times body length Human: 10-11 times body length There was more, but I don't want to over-do it :p |

Jesse Lacey; Awake and Unafraid Age: 28 Gender: Female Posts: 12077 | DIE! DIE! DIE!:Your arguments about veganism and vegetarianism being unnatural are COMPLETELY irrelevant. Why does everything have to be natural for it to be okay? I bet you use air condition and wear clothes with polyester; those things are not natural but it doesn't seem to stop anyone from using or wearing them. |
