Are humans designed to be vegetarian?

by Nimit on August 12, 2009 · 3 Comments · in Interesting, Jainism/Religion

Here is a comprehensive look into whether our body is designed to be vegetarian. I found it a very educational/interesting read.

http://www.vegsource.com/veg_faq/comparative.htm

If you don’t want to read the whole article, the summary is: Yes, humans are designed to be herbivores (vegetarians). Scroll all the way down in the article to see charts where our body parts are compared to the same body parts of carnivores, herbivores, omnivores and humans. ~95% of our physical features match with those of herbivores!
