Our teeth are designed to rip flesh. We're omnivores. We've evolved beyond eating meat? Where's the logic in that? Another reason to eat meat is vitamin B12. Vegans are notoriously deficient in it. If you want to be vegan and get B12, you'd have to eat a crap ton of fermented soy or nori seaweed (or supplement). And good luck getting all of your amino acids from inferior, non-complete protein sources. I can understand being vegetarian, at least you can have fish, eggs, and diary. If you eat vegan for other reasons - Rule #4 reasons - good for you, but don't claim you'll live longer.

Well you can look at gorilla teeth and campare it to human teeth. There are lot of articles on internet about that.Knowing that gorilla dont eat any meat.

India have a record of being vegatarian for a very long time. I dont pretend to know their notorious deficiency. Though there are a lot of problems in this country for sure. But I think they have the key to a good vegatarien diet if we remove the problems and corruption inside their books.

I have a very hard time believing the protein argurment. And all others argument about meat providing the best ressources. Just using simple logic if we study animals diet we can wonder where do they take their nutriments. Some animals as far as I know have a constitution very similar to us and seems to not eat any meat.

Fair points. Regarding gorillas, they need to chew bark and scare/fend off other animals and competition. They also all have plant-based diets as a species. Humans naturally choose to eat meat, so perhaps that's all we need to know. My other arguments are against being vegan, specifically, not vegetarian. I have no issues with getting protein from fish, dairy, and eggs.

Comparing animal diets to ours probably isn't the best thing, as comparing the effect of their diet upon their own life span and quality of life would be hard to compare to ours - especially if they don't eat meat, there's nothing to compare it to. We need to look at human populations. Are there any countries with a huge vegan population?

Twin studies would be cool, though not feasible. Take one identical twin, raise them vegan, and another on meat and see who lives longer, lol.
