So we agree on this point.
I have not idea what "point" your refering to.  You like to play mind games that leads to nowhere.

You need to go back and read my responses in sequence. My points are very clear and to the point.

Your mind games,  not so much.

You said humans are for the most part omnivores. I agree. How does that qualify as a mind game?

Lack of specifics of what it is your referencing. You tend toward less significant info and more insignificant info.

Meat vs vegatarin = humans are ominvores for most part. It took way too many posts by me before you got that point.

Ergo mind games is what you prefer to play. Ring around the rosy is what you like to play.

There is absolutely no need to eat meat.

Perhaps this gave me the wrong impression. Or perhaps it is that you mistook me for the thread author. Either way we are on the same page now. Right?

recently a large number of bones where found in France where they were putting in a new road.  I don't recall the documentary but I'm sure google will reveal that (they claim) no bones that have been found were of a vegetarian (human bones and the precursor to humans)  Which stands to reason.  Most edible plants especially fruits are seasonal.  And depending on where you look are almost non existent.  Consider the diet of native Alaskans.  Again depending on the location, people would fatten up for the winter like any other animal.  Sugars are fattening as are carbohydrates in general.  Animal meat is slower to digest which is probably more beneficial during the winter months.  When it comes to survival you will eat whatever is available.  In heavy snows and harsh winters deer will eat pine needles and starve to death with a belly full as they can't digest them.  Ancient humans didn't have the luxury of being vegetarian or vegan since they couldn't farm year round like we can today, they also didn't have pesticides and gmo plants, not sure which group is better off.....

Man's natural state would seem to be omnivorous. Whether or not modern man should be vegitarian is a separate issue.

agreed, tooth and g.i. of humans don't resemble herbivores.

Just because you can eat something doesn't mean you should.

Ha, SM we were never on the same page at DDO.  As long as your priority is silly mind games, we will not be on the same page.

Yes, most modern day humans have no need/neccessity to eat meat. You dont grasp that, becuase your abitlity to have any significantlly intellectual discourse me is absent.

You appear to have trouble in reading and interpreting my lips/text as presented.

Humans are ominvores for thousands if not millions of years.

What we should eat is a separate discussion from what we actually eat.

Well, I don't eat animals or animal products so I guess that means I am not an omnivore.

I used to be a human garbage disposal, sure. Ever eat pigs feet? That ain't kosher.

In that case a behavioral biologist might well classify you as an omnivore.

Why do you keep insisting in convincing people to turn into frugivores? Are you a fruit seller? Are you part of a sect that only eat fruits?

Elaborate, please.

Lol, "turn" into....no not really. It's of my own opinion, observation and studies that man is a frugivore and not supposed to be a meat eater, and doesn't do that well as an omnivore. We do not have the anatomy of carnivores or herbivores ..Look at the health crisis all across the globe. Raw diet, fruits and vegetables are a superior diet in every way imaginable. But fruits in particular are unmatched in nutrition, electrical value and very hydrating....they are by far the most superior foods, that includes fruits berries and melons. Perhaps read through the links I supplied. I can offer quite a bit more. 

Are you a fruit seller?

No

Are you part of a sect that only eat fruits?

Depends upon what you mean here, people do raw food diets and fruit diets all over the world, it's just very uncommon and takes discipline. But the benefits are what they are supposed to be. We eat food for energy, health, stamina, vitality...we are a high level conscious species and require a high electrical, high energy hydrating foods that are compatible with are anatomy.
But if you're more interested, I can give you an excellent link/source where you can watch videos and talks from an excellent holistic ND. And yes he has quite a following on youtube.

Elaborate, please.

Why don't you check out my OP and some of the links and we can go from there if it's something that interests you or that you disagree with.

Excuse me let me rephrase that, man does not have the anatomy of carnivores, omnivores or herbivores. We don't have teeth or claws for shredding meat, we don't the digestion of herbivores and pure veggie eaters. Carnivores have short wide colon for quick processing of meat before it putrefies. Fruits are the perfect foods and are superior to vegetables, highly nutritional, high in energy, easy to digest, cleansing and highly electrical, high vibrational frequencies. Fruits are beautiful, taste amazing and are fit for the human anatomy and structure. 
Just because man eats whatever he wants does not mean certain foods are good for human consumption.
