Many think our hunter-gatherer ancestors show that we were designed to eat meat, but the research tells a different story.
Next time someone says our canines are designed to eat meat, show them these 10 ways we’ve evolved to be plant-based.
A body-part by body-part breakdown of the differences between carnivores, omnivores and herbivores. If you think humans are well-suited to eating meat, think again!
One of the most pervasive myths surrounding veganism is the belief that humans are naturally meant to eat meat – that we are evolutionarily adapted to eat and thrive on dead flesh. The evidence presented in these pages knocks this myth firmly on its head.
Do you think that our little canine teeth show that we are natural meat-eaters? If so, you are not alone, but you are wrong. Consider how carnivores eat, you might not (literally) have the stomach for it.
You can all get all the nutrients you need from a varied, vegan diet – and often in a form our bodies can better use. Plus, you avoid all the harmful health effects of eating meat, fish and dairy.
