How many out there are carnivores?
How many vegans?
How many vegetarians?

I could easily be the latter, if I didn't have to prepare meat for other folks. Still heavy on the veggies.........

Here's an interesting bible quote:

And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. And there came a voice to him, Rise,Peter; kill, and eat. Bible (NewTestament) Acts of the Apostles10:11^13.

I became a vegetarian when I was 14 for health and ethical reasons. I cracked and started eating seafood when I was about 28

I found this very interesting.


Were Humans Meant to Eat Meat?

I love my Chick-fil-A but probably could exist on a diet of fruit, vegetables, yogurt, etc. http://www.chick-fil-a.com/

Humans are omnivores....we can eat a variety of foods.

Prehistoric peoples better suited to being non-meat eaters? Seems they might not have made it up the evolutionary ladder.

As I understand it we evolved as hunter-gatherers. Usually the men hunted and the women gathered.

I enjoy fruits and veggies as well as meat and fish, all part of a balanced diet.

I remember my son telling me of a celebrity he met, saying, "I didn't work my way to the top of the food chain just to eat vegetables."

Sometimes I think we eat what our bodies "tell" us we "need." Sweets and treats aren't included.

Am I a carnivore? Y-E-S!!!!

Pooh is absolutely right. Humans are omnivores. An animal like a leopard or a tiger is a carnivore.

I am not a carnivore. Carnivores eat only meat. I eat everything except turnips and okra.

Wife and I are about 95% vegan (salmon + small amount of cheese on occasion).

[eweissenbach]

I own three grills, a large cast iron charcoal grill, a large infrared gas grill, and a small kettle grill for two to four people. I also own a large electric smoker. These are not primarily used to cook vegetables.

Funny how you phrased this questions. How many are carnivores as if carnivores are the minority and unnatural group.

Studies show that somewhere between 5% and 13% of US residents are vegetarians or vegans. Some say that there are even less and that many who try vegetarianism go back to eating eat at some point.
