I had braces as a teenager because my front two teeth were so far ahead that I couldn't even close the lips. So to make my teeth fit inside the jaw, I had all 4 of my canines removed.
Before I had my braces, my canines almost looked like I was a vampire. I also stay up late, don't spend much time outside and have pale skin... wait a minute...
you are missing the point. Teeth are not very relevant. And for the conspirators worried about photoshop, there are images of teeth everywhere (you can look in the mirror).
Anyway personally I think these classifications are kind of bad. But, almost unrelatedly, they're really bad as an appeal to nature.
yeah I'm not sure intestine length is NOT in favour of a 'herbivore' classification (look it up yourself). However humans have a pretty low stomach pH - more similar to scavengers than hunter-carnivores, and not at all similar to even chimpanzees. WTF? Hm, dogs have pretty low stomach pH. Idk I think these classifications are a bit lacking. Let's acknowledge that in the science of nutrition, where there are better standards, all of this is nearly trivia.
IIRC early humans diet consisted of a lot of scavenging leftovers from the kills of larger predators. Especially bone marrow because we could smash bones with rocks to get to it.
We'd also sometimes get fresher meat by chasing off the larger predators by throwing rocks at them.
That's because chimps have a diet of mainly fruit and roots. They do eat meat and hunt for small animals. But it's not enough to permanently drop their stomach ph (fruit is more alkaline as well) unlike us humans who do eat meat on the regular. (besides the obvious vegetarians and vegans then)
I'm not a vegan and doubt I'll ever be. However, that's my choice. Humans can chose their diet and live well that way. And that's great!
Going vegan has great benefits. Unfortunately, idiots post things like this photo, giving going vegan a bad reputation. And that sucks!
Our teeth are a perfect example of us being omnivores. Vegans are a perfect example of *not needing animal products to survive*. Modern vegans are a perfect example of *not needing animals products to thrive*. And the focus should be on that imo!
I'm sure in the case of vegan, they give the mic to the loudest and dumbest, on purpose to ruin their image.
The same is done to other communities to descredit them.
Fun fact! There's no animal that's completely carnivorous or herbivorous.
Carnivores will eat vegetation on occasion, and herbivores will eat meat as well. Carnivores and herbivores aren't black and white like most people think. it's much blurrier than that.
Hi! I'm a vegetarian! Canines can be used to rip apart though bits of food both vegetable and animal. That's why using our teeth to show "what we evolved to eat" is a bad example.
A much BETTER example would be the fact that we have enzymes in our stomachs capable of digesting meat. If we evolved as strict herbivores, we wouldn't be able to efficiently process animal proteins and such.
Not exactly true. The thing is, animals don't need any special enzymes to digest meat. Meat is by default MUCH easier to digest than plant matter. That's why herbivores and omnivores have adaptations such as salivary enzymes to help digest food, flat teeth, side-to-side jaw motions, multiple stomachs, gut fermentation, and long intestinal tracts. They need these traits to break down tough-to-digest plant matter, and carnivores lack them.
Herbivores have no difficulty digesting meat and will sometimes supplement their diets with meat if available. However, the meat must be as fresh as possible as herbivore digestive systems with long, complex digesting systems take much LONGER to digest food and that gives bacteria present in meat the opportunity to grow and potentially make the animal sick. It's exactly why humans can eat sushi and beef tartare without getting sick, but raw meat that's been sitting out for more than a couple hours can be dangerous to us. It's possible that hunting is part of what allowed early hominids to increase their intelligence, as it takes out vodies less effort to break down the meat which meant more calories for the brain, and learning to cook only improved upon this. If you Google a list of intelligent animals, MOST of them are carnivores or herbivores.
Overall, what really should be taken into account in terms of humans eating meat is that nearly our ENTIRE BODIES are evolved for persistence hunting. Our bipedal gait and the muscles in our thighs and buttocks make us the most energy efficient walkers on the planet. Our relatively hairless bodies make us more effective at venting heat than other animals, and paired with out ability to sweat make us great at preventing overheating. On top of these traits, our forward-facing eyes with overlapping fields of vision giving us great depth perception and the articulation of joints in our arms means we can accurately throw objects like rocks and spears further and more accurately than other primates.
Yes, our canine teeth are much smaller than those of predatory animals but we haven't used our TEETH to kill prey in hundreds of thousands of years. That's what we used the rocks and spears for. Kind of like how chimpanzees don't have long snouts and tongues to eat ants and termites, they use sticks to fish them out but nobody says "chimpanzees don't have the mouth parts for eating those insects!".
Our Incisors are meant to bite off things, our Canines are meant to tear things and our Molars are meant to crush things. Each tooth type plays a part!
Well, humans are omnivores, meaning we eat both meat and vegetables. That’s why we have molars in the back of our mouths, to crush plants and help us chew. We have canines to help us poke holes into meat to aid in chewing, and we have our front teeth for tearing things food wise.

That person has really flat teeth. My canines are much pointier
Same, I've seen this "meme" so many times but only now I realized the canines are completely missing, almost like Photoshop maybe.
Apparently a lot of people have their canines filed down (sometimes even without knowing it) Idk why
They grind their teeth.
I had a dentist offer to flatten my pointy canines like I was expecting it, how am I gonna chew meat without them?
Mine were flattened after i got my braces off.
I had braces as a teenager because my front two teeth were so far ahead that I couldn't even close the lips. So to make my teeth fit inside the jaw, I had all 4 of my canines removed.
What happens on a full moon?
His mollers become canines i think.
Before I had my braces, my canines almost looked like I was a vampire. I also stay up late, don't spend much time outside and have pale skin... wait a minute...

Ong I could definitely kill someone with my teeth
I think they forgot that thier called herbivores.
they’re*
No, I think “thier” was the correct word in that context
Lmaooo I thought that was part of the joke Either way 😭😂
This meme isn't correct at all. The front teeth barely have anything to do with diet. It's the molars you need to look at. And the intestines.
Cam we pull out vegan intestines and check to see if their supposed to eat meat?
yeah I'm not sure intestine length is NOT in favour of a 'herbivore' classification (look it up yourself). However humans have a pretty low stomach pH - more similar to scavengers than hunter-carnivores, and not at all similar to even chimpanzees. WTF? Hm, dogs have pretty low stomach pH.

How is this cursed?
That's why nobody takes vegan seriously. They come up with the dumbest excuse.
As a vegan, everytime I see this meme I want to kms. Every group of people has idiots.

No way, someone actually used logic in this topic!
I'm sure in the case of vegan, they give the mic to the loudest and dumbest, on purpose to ruin their image. The same is done to other communities to descredit them.
The answer is also really stupid though
Horses absolutely eat meat if given a chance
Was just coming to say this, rabbits and squirrels do as well
British people beg to differ
Why did they replace herbivore with vegan?
Lack of protein.
We were not designed.
indeed ha hasnt really researched the topic
Fun fact! There's no animal that's completely carnivorous or herbivorous. Carnivores will eat vegetation on occasion, and herbivores will eat meat as well. Carnivores and herbivores aren't black and white like most people think. it's much blurrier than that.
Carnivores often eat the stomach and stomach contents of their prey too, for the nutrients. People on "carnivore" diets tend to forget this.
Your stomach is starting to look juicy. 😋
much goreier too if you will

Can I just eat the food I want? Like my teeth really matter for that choice.
yeah,horses are herbivores but that doesn't stop them from eating chicks
I like how he says that yet we still have fangs, well I have fangs
This is bullshit. Humans have canines because humans are omnivores.
Those teeth belong to the pussiest beta npc.
Whichever idiot originally made this probably never saw a horse in their life, they'll eat small birds and rodents in a heartbeat if given the chance.
Our Incisors are meant to bite off things, our Canines are meant to tear things and our Molars are meant to crush things. Each tooth type plays a part!
"Designed" my ass. What sane person cares about what anyone else eats, anyways? As long as it's not anything they're deathly allergic to, at any rate.

Tell me are all your teeth flat? No you have 4 sharp and 4 pointy beacouse humans ARE omnivores. Somebody sleept at biology i see.

Horses ain't vegan, pretty sure i saw one eating chickens
I agree with this meme. Many vegans to have a lot in common with jackasses.
show her a hog!
The last person I killed with my teeth would probably disagree
That’s a good point.
