-there are YouTube videos of deers eating bbq and even dead birds, doesnt mean they are omnivores

-carnivores and omnivores have digestive tracts around 3-6x the length of their trunk (basically the torso area, body not including head, arms or legs etc). Relatively shorter because meat can quite literally rot inside of the body if left too long
-herbivores have digestive tracts about 10-12x the length of their trunks.
-guess how long a humans digestive system is? In the 10-12x range.

-the intestines of meat eaters are smooth and tubular, like a straw or a slide or something. Its easier for meat to pass through the system without putrifying or protein leeching (this is a real problem with the animal protein people eat)
-herbivorous systems are crinkled and folded to increase surface area and whatnot. Food still moves through thanks to fibre found in plants. For humans its mostly cellulose. Developed like this so the body can absorb a greater amount of nutrients from plant sources
-if youve ever seen a human digestive system in a textbook, youd know that our intestines are windy and lumpy and whatnot, like herbivores. And, like herbivores, if we dont get enough fibre our food will not pass.

-the stomach acid of omnivorous and carnivorous animals is roughly 20x more acidic than the stomach acids of herbivores. This kills parasites and bacteria that would survive in a herbivores stomach, and it breaks down the animal proteins.
-the stomach acidity of the human animal is what youd find in a herbivores stomach. We cant eat raw meat without risking some kind of food poisoning, and is impractical to eat

-the saliva of carnivores is acidic to break down animal flesh.
-the saliva of herbivores is alkaline, and breaks down starches.
-human saliva is alkaline. A piece of bread left in our mouth will become sweet, but no predigestion occurs with animal products

-both omnivores and carnivores have lipid metabolisms such that it is impossible for atherosclerosis (heart/artery disease) to occur, regardless of how much dietary cholesterol they consume
-atherosclerosis can be induced in plant-eating animals by adding dietary cholesterol.
-humans can develop atherosclerosis. If total cholesterol is below a certain range (I think 140? I forget), atherosclerosis is impossible to develop, regardless of other risk factors such as sugar intake/diabetes, cancer, obesity, smoking, no sleep, stress, etc. Cholesterol is the only necessary risk factor for atherosclerosis to develop. On a Standard American Diet, children as young as 3 years old have aortic fatty streaks to some degree, aka developing heart disease. And people are outraged when kids are put ON vegan diets?

-and obviously we dont have claws or fangs or anything. Our brains and development of tools allow us to circumvent our limits of not being predators, it doesnt make us predators. For anyone who is going to make note of our canines, honestly, do you even believe that yourself? Our teeth are not cutting into flesh any time soon. Chimpanzees and gorillas have super intimidating fangs and yet they are fully herbivorous animals, with an exception of some termites or something, probably.
