MAN NOT BUILT FOR MEAT EATING
What may be regarded as quite positive evidence as to the natural diet of
man is seen in his anatomical and digestive functions. Man holds a
distinctive position, based upon the classification made by science, which
ranks the higher animal according to dietetic habits.
The herbivorous animals eat herbs and grass; the frugivorous fruits, grains,
and nuts; the carnivorous, flesh; and the omnivorous eat all these foods. An
animal's scientific classification is made according to its eating habit.
Here science finds the most positive identification.

Animals that eat flesh have long, sharp, pointed canine teeth for tearing
their food apart. These set considerably apart from the other teeth. The
molars are saw-shaped. Man's teeth are practically of even length, and set
in a complete dental arch, with no space between them. In number, form, and
general arrangement, they are almost identical with the teeth of frugivorous
animals. Man's teeth are distinctly different from the teeth of other
classes of animals, and especially of the carnivorous.

In the carnivorous animals, the alimentary canal, or food tube, is short,
only three times the length of the body from the tip of the nose to the end
of the backbone. In the frugivorous, it is twelve times the length of the
body.

If these characteristic features mean anything, we see that man is not
fitted for eating flesh. though he has, in times of scarcity of vegetable
food, eaten meat, and while some races have even subsisted largely on it,
there is no indication of any change in man's anatomy to adapt it to animal
diet. From the natural formation of man, we may definitely understand that
he is suited to a vegetable diet.
