Actually humans have more of the herbivore kind of teeth, herbivore saliva, and digestive systems. Carnivores have more tearing teeth, stronger enzymes in the saliva, and a much shorter intestine so the flesh gets ejeted from the GI tract before it rots. Humans have a much longer GI tract, suitable for digesting plant food.

We didn't develop clever brains for sneaking up on lettuce.

Early human settlements show lots of signs of eating animals - they ate whatever they could pick or catch. Curiously, they also show lots of signs of eating other humans - purposefully cracked bones for extracting and eating marrow. We are not that many generations past common cannibalism!

We are omniverous, which is why we are so successful.

Meat is a long prized food for humans because protein and fat are much more dense and long lasting energy sources than plant carbohydrate.

Also, humans have only been farming for about 10,000 years. Grains are specially bred grasses - we haven't been eating them for that long.

Humans have eyes on the front of our heads like carnivores, for hunting - not on the sides like herbivores, to better spot carnivores.

Did you copy that right out of "Diet for a New America?"

PETA member, are you?

Damn tofu must be shrinking your brain, already. ;)
