In regards to eating meat

[Monica]

A chimp has some huge canines, which along with their strength would allow them to rend apart flesh whether food or enemy.

Oh wow!!! Ya know, I've never bothered to look up chimp teeth before, and I am stunned!

Look at this!

Those are FANGS! Yes, FANGS! Just like dogs and cats!

Now compare those to human teeth. NO comparison!

We are quite a bit different with an almost non existent set of canines. Their function is more for keeping the row of teeth in order like a fencepost than any real mechanical advantage for chewing or eating. If I was to have mine pulled it would make no real difference in ability to chew food. It would only make the bridge of teeth a little weaker.

Yeah, I am always a little annoyed whenever people say, "Humans were meant to eat meat too, because we have canine teeth too." Yeah, right. We have the vestiges of canine teeth only. They are dulled. They're not sharp at all. They're not fangs!
