In Reply to: Are humans carnivorous ? posted by Kcal on October 21, 2004 at 6:10 pm:

We are EQUIPPED to eat anything. It's part of the reason we have survived as a species.

But we are not particularly well DESIGNED to eat meat.

Our closest genetic relatives (gorilla's - well technically bonobo monkeys) are primarily vegetarian and eat meat only when other food is not available.

Our digestive system doesn't resemble that of a herbivore or a carnivore.
