I gave you 3 sources and all you could type was "daily mail?"

For educated fellows, there's no harm in reading new stuffs.

It also doesn't justify eating plants. You can survive on just for fruits and you'll survive, at least a fruitarian says that.

I'm not the one who needs to justify what I'm doing, since it's natural for humans to eat plants. We have enzymes in our saliva that break down starch, something fruitarian animals don't have.

Most frutarians end up giving up after a couple of years because of the cost, the inconvenience and the toll it takes on their digestive system. Humans are starch eaters.

Most but not all and same with the veggies. We are talking about Vegan/Veggies not Fruitarians.

It was not a typo. Or you've never heard of apes that, almost, exclusively eat fruit?

Humans are starch eaters is my point. I am eating the diet most appropriate for my species.

I don't know of any vegans that gave up because of digestion issues. If anything, it heals the gut.

Jesus, because you don't know doesn't mean they don't exist. How many Fruitarians do you know that gave that lifestyle up??

You're supposed to be educated dude!!!

You brought the fruit issue up! Lol. I was just showing that if humans were not meant to eat plants, we would not have the enzymes to digest them.

I'm not a dude. And there are vegan forums full of ex-fruitarians that explain what their experience was.

Have you never heard of amylase? We digest starch with it.

and you're more educated than I am? I wrote that gibberish up there thinking you were smart, but no, what is "cellulase"? Ok, I don't want to sound pissed but I am, can you honestly correct what I wrote up there??

I've never heard of it so never addressed it. I never claimed to be more educated than you, just claimed that your redundant arguments made you sound uneducated, but later said that I think you're playing dumb just in defend meat eating. Furthermore, my point on enzymes was entirely about amylase which humans have in great amounts, to break down starch. Apes don't always have it and when they do it is in much smaller amounts. The fact of us having so much amylase was to show that we are meant to eat plants. Didn't want to go off topics or into things that I don't understand/you didn't explain. Thanks

haaaa, what I was supposed to type was cellulose.

Your body, our body doesn't have an enzyme that digest cellulose.

Before you loose sight of what you're talking about, lemme remind you, you said we were not designed to eat meat (our digestive tract), we are also not designed to eat plants (cellulose).

And cellulose is the only thing in plants? And isn't that fibre, which is useful for our gut but not digestible?

Nooo, going by your logic, if we don't have the enzymes that support eating them, we shouldn't eat at all.

How does that go by my logic? And you conveniently ignore how we have the enzyme amylase. Insoluble fibre benefits human digestive health, as far as I know. If there's something you know that disproves that, i'd like to learn about it. Resistant starch help our gut bacteria. One of the reasons why people get digestion issues on a fruitarian diet is the lack of resistant starch.
