Text Box: Although some historians and anthropologists say that man is historically omnivorous, our anatomical equipment teeth, jaws, and digestive system favors a fleshless diet. The American Dietetic Association notes that “most of mankind for most of human history has lived on vegetarian or near-vegetarian diets.” Meat-Eaters: Have claws, have no skin pores and perspire through the tongue, have sharp front teeth for tearing, have an intestinal tract that is only 3 times their body length so that rapidly decaying meat can pass through quickly, have strong acid in stomach, and salivary glands in mouth not needed to pre-digest grains and fruits. Humans: Have no claws, perspire through skin pores, have no sharp front teeth, have an intestinal tract 10-12 times their body length, have stomach acid that is 20 times weaker then that of a meat eater, have well-developed salivary glands, and have alkaline saliva with ptyalin to pre-digest grains.
