Green's Anatomy

You put a baby in a crib with an apple and a rabbit. If it eats the rabbit and plays with the apple, I'll buy you a new car. ~Harvey Diamond

In this era, people are so knowledge logic driven. Tell them something based on intuition and they take you for a crackpot. But who says vegetarianism is only for emotionally soft animal right activists? They want hard facts and science? They’ve got it.

Carnivorous saliva is acidic. Herbivorous saliva is alkaline. Human saliva is alkaline.

The intestine of a carnivore is smooth and shaped like a pipe so that food gets passed through quickly. Intestine of a herbivore is like a windy mountain road with bumps, for optimal absorption of plant food. Go flip into any textbook and check out the picture of a human digestive system.

Herbivores require fiber to move food along its digestive tracts, while carnivores, having short intestinal tracts, do not. That’s why people get constipation.

Carnivores have intestinal tract only 3 times their body length. The human intestine is,...very long.

Finally while carnivores have the ability to handle a high cholesterol diet, herbivores do not. Cholesterol is never found in plants. Some of Human’s adaptations to coping with high cholesterol levels include heart retrenchment, arterial diseases and engaging stroke mode.

This is not about a campaign for animal rights. This is nature.

It’s a race between evolution and food poisoning (eventual even if not immediate). So far, evolution is losing.

If beef is your idea of "real food for real people" you'd better live real close to a real good hospital. ~Neal Barnard
