Does this describe you, too? If not, then maybe you're not a true carnivore.

The presence of "meat chewing" teeth is a physiological aspect of our anatomy while the pavlovian reflex is a conditioned response. One that has been bred out of us over the millenia.

Looking at the state of our dentition, we have actually evolved smaller mouths. So much so that it has become necessary to cook our food and use utensils on it in order to better eat it.

Scientific fact or personal opinion? Proof?

Looking at the state of our dentition, we have actually evolved smaller mouths. So much so that it has become necessary to cook our food and use utensils on it in order to better eat it.

And yet despite all these eons of evolution, we still desire to and are able to eat the fruits of the trees and the grains of the fields in their natural state.
