Biologically, humans are omnivores. Hominids shifted to omnivorous diets 2.5 million years ago. Interestingly enough, it was around that time that hominid digestive tracts started shrinking in size, as if the capacity to digest such large quantities of vegetation were no longer needed. Other great apes, like chimps and gorillas, are also omnivorous to varying degrees. The fact that saliva contains enzymes for digesting carbohydrates is hardly an argument against meat-eating, because the next stop is the stomach, which provides the 1-3pH acidic environment needed for the release and action of pepsin, a powerful proteolytic (i.e., protein-digesting) enzyme. In the small intestine, other enzymes are released, including proteolytic enzymes like trypsin and chymotrypsin. Not that a dimwitted, anti-intellectual troll like Tom Barlow has even the slightest capacity to understand basic science, but the following site does thoroughly debunk the kind of mush-head hippy nonsense found in that idiotic video. http://beyondveg.com/
