Reply #3: Our teeth would suggest ...

Our teeth would suggest BOTH. Evolution provides advantages to creatures that can adapt to different situations and take advantage of multiple food sources.

If you were strictly a carnivore, your mouth would be filled with sharp teeth (like a cat or dog). If you were strictly an omnivour, you would have a mouth full of molars.

I have no problem with butchering cattle to survive. Nature made me carnivorous, that is my role. As long as we treat that cattle with respect and dignity (good quality of life for a cow (standing around a field chewing cud)) I believe that eating meat is JUST FINE.

I don't abide by those new-fangled hog raising techniques that treat them like warehouse equipment. Hogs are animals and deserve the space and room to get adequete exercise and decent quality of life (nosing around in the ground for food, rolling in mud ... pig stuff).
