Last time I looked in the mirror I didn't resemble a Lion at all, a monkey maybe.

If we don't need veggies that means our moms were wrong all those years she said "eat your vegetablees" we know mommies are never wrong except when they try to tell their teen agers what to do.

I don't really understand when people say - I'm not a lion so it doesn't apply to me. The reason labs use certain animals in testing is because they have things about them that make them comparable. For instance, our digestive system is similar to cats, so that's why they're used for those kinds of experiments.

Though we are mammals too same like animals. Yet, we are highest form of mammals right?

Eating veggies are good for our health as it has the essentials that our body needs. Me, before i don't eat veggies at all but now i am tasting the good side of it.

Don't take comments to literally, I was in a light and happy mood, that is all. I am aware of why certain things are used in research, my granddaughter was in research until she decided to go back to school to be a Nurse Practioner.

What is being said here, isn't so much can we or should we, but would we be happy doing certain things. most of us are taking it that way..

even carnivores eat grass when their stomach hurts. For many animals vegetation is a source of medicine for intestinal trouble.

People are also educated and know that only meat in their diet would make them sick. Veggies are a healthy balance.

How humans are not physically created to eat meat

This isn't a serious question, is it?
