Oh my god. Nothing against you here, just wanted to comment against this video :)
The main issue I have is that they seperate everything into two distinct groups and miss the larger group of OMNIVORES. Humans are omnivores, monkeys are omnivores yet they show the pic of a monkey head in their herbivore list...
The reason that carnivores have short intestines is that meat is a better and more effecient source of energy, not so you don't take in fats. Herbivores naturally need to process the food longer and in different ways. To take their examples, cows have 7 stomachs and horses do not fully process their food and spent a great deal of time feeding. So do cows. So do monkeys.
Humans have a small and large intestine so they can eat meat and plant matter and have both processed well.
Carl Lewis started being a vegan in 1990, two years before he retired. He only had 4 more races I think (compared to the 20++ before that) and was 30 and at the prime of his life for a sprinter. It's a very bad example. Also supplementation wuld have been 5x better than any other vegan considering he was an olympic athlete. This was just poor form and also he's the exception not teh rule.
We are a social species and hunt in packs. We don't need to catch a leopard to eat it, we can herd an elephant or spear something. Now we can herd other animals. This is a bad reason.
The baby thing at the end... OMG.
Meat is like smoking? OMG.
Anyway, there is plenty more. The main thing to remember is there is a group called omnivores and we belong to it. We also have a wicked big enough brain to make ethical choices and for sme people that's to be vegan for others its to remain an omnivore. that's up to you. I just don't like misinformation :)
I just hate misinformation, especially when it's dolled up as something it isn't. Just like religion :)
