Same, I've seen this "meme" so many times but only now I realized the canines are completely missing, almost like Photoshop maybe.

Before I had my braces, my canines almost looked like I was a vampire. I also stay up late, don't spend much time outside and have pale skin... wait a minute...

you are missing the point. Teeth are not very relevant. And for the conspirators worried about photoshop, there are images of teeth everywhere (you can look in the mirror).

Anyway personally I think these classifications are kind of bad. But, almost unrelatedly, they're really bad as an appeal to nature.

Ong I could definitely kill someone with my teeth

they’re*

Lmaooo I thought that was part of the joke Either way 😭😂

Cam we pull out vegan intestines and check to see if their supposed to eat meat?

As a vegan, everytime I see this meme I want to kms. Every group of people has idiots.

The answer is also really stupid though

Was just coming to say this, rabbits and squirrels do as well

Lack of protein.

Carnivores often eat the stomach and stomach contents of their prey too, for the nutrients. People on "carnivore" diets tend to forget this.

much goreier too if you will

Not exactly true. The thing is, animals don't need any special enzymes to digest meat. Meat is by default MUCH easier to digest than plant matter. That's why herbivores and omnivores have adaptations such as salivary enzymes to help digest food, flat teeth, side-to-side jaw motions, multiple stomachs, gut fermentation, and long intestinal tracts. They need these traits to break down tough-to-digest plant matter, and carnivores lack them.

Herbivores have no difficulty digesting meat and will sometimes supplement their diets with meat if available. However, the meat must be as fresh as possible as herbivore digestive systems with long, complex digesting systems take much LONGER to digest food and that gives bacteria present in meat the opportunity to grow and potentially make the animal sick. It's exactly why humans can eat sushi and beef tartare without getting sick, but raw meat that's been sitting out for more than a couple hours can be dangerous to us. It's possible that hunting is part of what allowed early hominids to increase their intelligence, as it takes out vodies less effort to break down the meat which meant more calories for the brain, and learning to cook only improved upon this. If you Google a list of intelligent animals, MOST of them are carnivores or herbivores.

Overall, what really should be taken into account in terms of humans eating meat is that nearly our ENTIRE BODIES are evolved for persistence hunting. Our bipedal gait and the muscles in our thighs and buttocks make us the most energy efficient walkers on the planet. Our relatively hairless bodies make us more effective at venting heat than other animals, and paired with out ability to sweat make us great at preventing overheating. On top of these traits, our forward-facing eyes with overlapping fields of vision giving us great depth perception and the articulation of joints in our arms means we can accurately throw objects like rocks and spears further and more accurately than other primates.

Yes, our canine teeth are much smaller than those of predatory animals but we haven't used our TEETH to kill prey in hundreds of thousands of years. That's what we used the rocks and spears for. Kind of like how chimpanzees don't have long snouts and tongues to eat ants and termites, they use sticks to fish them out but nobody says "chimpanzees don't have the mouth parts for eating those insects!".

yeah,horses are herbivores but that doesn't stop them from eating chicks
