Shut up.
You are not an omnivore, you are a carnist.
You are not designed to eat meat, you choose to.

Forward facing eyes, designed to help us judge distance. A trait found pretty much exclusively in predatory animals.
Not convinced? How about our incisor teeth, pretty much useless when it comes to dealing with plant matter, but great at tearing flesh? Oh and let's not forgot the enzymes in our digestive system that help us break down meat. Interestingly, we also conspicuously lack many of the enzymes found in herbivorous animals.
In short? We are designed to hunt and eat meat. In fact, humans are some of the best designed hunters on the planet when it comes to endurance hunting.
As a fairly new Vegan (start of December), I can tell you with absolute certainty that Viktoriaashleyy is completely full of shit.
Meat and animal products are a vital part of the human diet. Have you ever heard of vitamin B12? It's a vital part of your diet, as in you get very sick without it. The only people who get B12 deficiency are vegans, because it's in practically every animal product out there.
Tell me again we weren't designed to eat meat.
Humans are "designed" to eat meat. If we hadn't evolved to eat meat, then we wouldn't have evolved our relatively large and sophisticated brains. Although I can believe that your ancestors may not have evolved to eat meat, judging from the intelligence displayed by your post.
Human are not designed, moron.
And check our closest relative, the chimp, which is omnivore.
Oh, and we have shorter intestine than herbivore animal, an omnivore caracteristics.
But others had already expressed some arguments i could have added.
Giant Pandas are actually Carnivores , physiologically; they even have the teeth of a carnivore.
Therefore it chooses to eat Bamboo. A type of Grass, making it a Herbivore . Gotcha.
I had today a fryup. Along with the tomatoes, mushrooms, baked beans & fried bread, I also had Eggs, Black Pudding, Pork Sausages, and Bacon .
The only one who will shut up is you .
I don't think were ever going to see the end of this lie.
This creates a back up of bullshit resources for them to source. The lie told more often gaining because of its sheer amount now. "They can't all be wrong" although oddly enough they think science can be.

I don't think were ever going to see the end of this lie.
It's what Bill Maher termed a "zombie lie." In other words, a lie which has been killed time and time again with refutations but still keeps coming back.
Umm... Omnivores eat meat. Carnists eat ONLY meat.
I love me a good ribeye grilled in a nicely seasoned cast iron pan, but that's sure as hell not all I ever eat. Bad things would happen to me if I did. Just like bad things would happen to me if I only ate plants.
@Nosgoth
We have sane vegans in the comments who post here from time to time.
I'm gonna be honest, there's a bit of inherent sample/confirmation bias when it comes to any group, especially since the ones most likely to proclaim their vegan-ness are the ones that are the worst.
You've probably met several sane vegans without realizing it.
That being said, fuck these sorts of vegans.
Whenever I see one of these sorts of posts from pretentious vegans, I get hungry for a thick, hot bacon cheeseburger. Must be my innate omnivorous/carnivorous nature, that thing which overbearing vegans pretend doesn't exist.
That being said, it's time for me to go pull out the ol' George Foreman. Meat for the Meat God! Steaks for the Steak throne! Let the galaxy grill!
@ Doubting Thomas
You can't kill a zombie lie because there are no braaiiinnnnzzzz! in it.
Again, a carnist eats ONLY meat.
If we were not designed to eat meat, we would be sick when eating meat, or dying of it. Cats are designed to eat meat, and almost only meat (although our male cat likes the odd tomato and cucumber); with a vegan diet, they will die of Taurine deficiency.
If you choose a vegan diet, you have to make sure that you get all the proteins and other nutrients found in meat, which you need to stay healthy. With a varied omnivore diet, you automatically get all the nutrients you need.
@ Arceus, below
Even I, a lacto-ovo-vegetarian know that humans are biologically omnivores.
Don't lump all us normal vegetarians with these clearly idiotic vegans.
“Shut up.”
“You are not an omnivore, you are a carnist.”
“You are not designed to eat meat, you choose to.”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
