Sounds good to me.
Look at your canine teeth, then look at your canines’ canine teeth; they are way different.
Mmmmmmmm!
Classic low-carb diet. Dr. Atkins was right.
Now he’s dead.
chimps hunt.... sometimes even with spears.

Wrong. Our teeth are made for biting and chewing meat, we have incisors. Very different from monkey teeth.
We don't have hands like monkeys-which are made for swinging on tree branches, we have opposed thumbs. And our digestive system is also very different from Monkeys. Their stomachs are 3 times the size of ours, and their intestines are very different.
Sounds like you've been chewing and swallowing the vegan B.S.
Mankind is a hunter and gatherer, we are omnivores, and always will be. We need proteins, fats and carbs to survive.
Throw in a beer and some lemon meringue pie, and this is my natural diet. I've always liked eating the concentrated foods that are packed with protein and fat. And the only time in my life I've ever had a weight problem was when I tried to be a vegetarian for about 2 weeks. I was always hungry, always craving ice cream. I gave it up and have never gained more than 5% of my ideal weight.
Yup.
Almost all the great apes hunt, and have animal protein sources in their diet.
I seem to remember seeing a show on PBS where they actually observed mountain gorillas hunting and killing.
Just for fun...
Watch them hunt and kill and feast

Pork Steak here! Had it with corn on the cob smashed potatoes...with real butter.
We need the NUGENT/PALIN diet..........yummy yummy critters.
vegan eating primate teeth look like cows teeth. Ours are quite different.
Our incisors are meant for cutting meat our front teeth for shearing meat off into bites, cut up by our incisors, chopped into small pieces by our sharper front molars and ground down by our rear molars.
Thanks!
Great clip!
Attenburoughs “Life on Earth” was one of the most spectacular series ever, a few years back, I saw it at a garage sale and am still kicking myself in the azz for not buying it!
A root, a fruit, a leaf and something like beef. Healthy diet basics and what my apatite is sated by.
Orangutans are vegetarians. Also why they have such gigantic guts, and man do they fart and stink alot, (like vegans).
Their teeth look most like a cows.
You forgot the leaf part of my “A root, a fruit, a leaf and something like beef” diet. Beer is optional, and unfiltered, unpasteurized if included.
;-)
And we have a highly acidic stomach full of protease for digesting protein - most vegetarian type species, ruminant type, have specialized bacteria in the gut to digest vegetable matter.
Cows don’t eat grass. They eat anything with carbs in it. The critters in their gut digest the grass.
Then the cows digest the critters!
No, that's wrong. Our teeth are very similar to Old World monkeys and apes. And even the Platyrrhines (New World monkeys) have similar teeth diversity, but just different numbers.
However, incisors don't necessarily mean hunting, etc. Even the prosimians (e.g., lemurs) who came before monkeys had incisors...but they use them for eggs, hatchlings, digging into bark for insects, etc.
You really ought to read more. Primates, in particular Chimpanzees, hunt, kill and eat other primates. That includes ALL species of Chimps. Read Jane Goodall. Chimps have been known to carry off, kill and eat native babies, just another primate to them. Jane Goodall kept her own baby in a cimp proof cage while studying them in the wild.It is a well known fact that chimps set up hunts and drive monkeys to other chimps waiting to ambush and kill them. They then split the spoils between them. Don't believe me? Please do a google search on chimps, Jane Goodall and see for yourself.
Our teeth are made to chew and tear meat, we are classified omnivorous.
For example, Chimpanzees eat Baboons. Bonobos eat other, smaller monkeys.
