Physiologically, humans are omnivores. The structure of our teeth and digestive systems indicate that. The creator had to of had that in mind. True herbivores digestive systems are radically different than omnivores. The difference, I think, is Free Will. I commend you on your expression of Free Will to choose this path. But I don’t choose to follow that path.

I question the statement that "humans are omnivores". It's my understanding that this is not correct, that if you compare our physiology to other mammals, we are clearly designed as "herbivores", including our digestive systems and teeth. Obviously not like cows, etc. but in comparison with gorillas and other primate vegetarian mammals particularly.. A classic example is our supposedly "canine" teeth. Just try jumping on a deer and sinking those canine teeth of yours its its neck! Sorry, just won't work. Please give supporting evidence to your statement that "human's are omnivores". Unless you can provide evidence of which I am not aware, I believe you have been mislead. Thank you. Randall
