What Would Happen If the World Suddenly Went Vegetarian? |
Humans are designed to be omnivores. An animal that is purely a meat eater has short intestines. A cow that lives on grass has three stomachs-you have one. A cow since it eats a low energy diet, eats all day long. Humans are designed to eat a diet of both meat and plants, (vegetables). All meat and you will likely have vitamin deficiencies and trouble going to the bathroom. All vegetables, no eggs, no fish, a true vegetarian has trouble getting complete proteins-that are needed for good health.
