Yes? haven’t you heard of goldfish swallowing? And can’t you wring the neck of a chicken or rabbit?
What? Er explain why we have canine teeth then? And don’t have 4 stomachs so can’t graze like ruminants can.
Again, do you think we can kill and tear out chunks of fles and chew those raw chunks of meat with those canines.
I would love to why we can eat meat if we are not meant to do so. Try feeding meat to a cow or a horse and you end up with sick animals with mad cow disease. We were made by God to eat meat, and not eating meat can make you sick. Also our bodies crave meat. If you don’t believe me, read this.
Sorry, but that’s an old wife’s tale. I for one do not crave meat, in fact I would feel ill if I tried to eat meat now.
As the issue of Jews and Gentiles has already been clarified - let me address the ‘health’ of a vegetarian diet - the blogger home economist you provided the link to - may find it useful to avail themselves of more accurate information, for example the USDA:
Actually I think some if not most herbivores have canine teeth as well. Also aren;t some maybe all parrots vegetarians?
What you say is all correct. All parrots are vegetarians, not sure if they may inadvertently get a worm in a fruit.
Dogs can survive on vegetarian though probably best with some meat. For cats it is a bad idea cats are considered obligate carnivore and their diet needs can;t really be met by a vegan or vegetarian food and while with supplements they might be ok for a time over time it could become a major health problem.
This is a strange comment. What difference does it make that we use tools instead of our bodies. We don’t graze either nor do animals cook, grind, or bake their food. Your comment doesn’t prove anything.
Interesting that you say that it wasn’t to be read literally while reading Genesis literally?
So like so many other scripture passages the meaning is layered. It abolished the dietery laws of the Old Testement. It prepared Peter to accept the Gentiles.
Since I was responding to a comment about how humans were made for meat, your comment has no relevance to mine.
Interesting that you say that it wasn’t to be read literally while reading Genesis literally?
here is what the commentary says on the USCB website says
I know quite well that Genesis is allegorical, that are what the parables are, so should we ignore them.
Yes, that is what I have read about cats. From personal experience, dogs are fine with vegetarian diets. I have some non vegetarians who have switched to vegetarian food for their dogs as they found that it worked better for their skin.
It proves that our bodies were not naturally meant to eat meat. Do you realize how much sanitation and preperation goes into the safe eating of meat? As opposed to a lion or dog for instance who can just eat raw meat.
Well, the animal knows cruelty, that’s for sure. It’s fairly easy to know when an animal is in distress actually. An honest person looking at modern factory farming and meat production will easily see unnecessary and horrendous cruelty. Cruelty we should not try to make excuses for…
The church founded by Jesus says that eating meat is fine, now you can CHOOSE not to eat meat if you like, I could care less, its more for me then. However the church says I can eat meat and has never said that I cannot other then a few days a year, which we give up because meat is so yummy.
The issue is not eating meat. The issue is unnecessary cruelty, torture really, that is taking place in the factory farming. No one is saying you can’t eat meat, hunt or whatever. In fact, it would be much better if you personally hunted every single animal you ate b/c from the perspective of cruelty to animals it is much much more humane than raising them in completely unnatural conditions for their entire lives, cutting off parts of their bodies etc…
Really? What was the relavance of your comment? I took it to mean that because man didn’t eat raw meant and take an animal by hand that it somehow proved man wasn’t omnivores. Your reasoning was flawed because as humans we use tools and we don’t hunt like an animal. You don’t eat vegetables like animals either so if you are going to make a comparison of how animals eat you have to make it all the way.
I found this article. It contains what I was taught in school:
That article is a joke my friend. Our teeth are nothing like a carnivores or omnivores. Meat does not pass easily through our intestines, in fact, it can get stuck in there for years. It also constipates us, whereas fruits and veggies do the opposite. I could go deeper but the proof we were not “born to eat meat” is in the fact that eating a high meat diet kills us. A dog or cat can eat as much meat as they want without developing the diet related diseases we do.
