    Humans only eat herbivores, such as sheep, pigs, cows, and so on. If humans eat carnivores, it is likely that they will eat wild animals, which will disrupt the ecological balance and lead to the endangerment of the species.

    When humans were not called humans, it was a herbivore, living on plants and unable to digest meat. After the emergence of Homo sapiens, especially the use of fire, which could help people metabolize meat, they evolved into omnivores.

    Why did you evolve to be herbivores and carnivores? Because the essence of animal life is actually to constantly acquire, decompose, and recombine proteins under the guidance of DNA. Protein is one of the most important survival bases of animals, and the intake of ** from plant protein to animal protein is conducive to better survival and reproduction of human beings, so the human physiological system has also evolved from the herbivorous digestive system to the compatible carnivorous digestive system to expand the intake**.

    For example, theoretically speaking, the human intestine is still as long and wrinkled as herbivores, while carnivores are short and smooth, and the human intestine is not suitable for meat to be digested, absorbed and passed smoothly, so people need to supplement dietary fiber from plants to lubricate the intestines, and various enzymes have evolved in the digestive tract to help decompose, digest and absorb meat.

    To sum up, the human herbivorous digestive system has evolved and upgraded to be compatible with carnivores, but it does not support pure meat, but it will be inherently more friendly to vegan food, but it is only more friendly. Since the human digestive system has evolved into omnivorous over a long period of time, veganism is also a physiological forced regression, which will inevitably lead to a lack of trace elements and compounds in the body that can only be found in various meats.

    Therefore, man is neither a herbivore nor a carnivore. Normal human physiology requires a combination of meat and vegetables, which is determined by evolutionary DNA, so humans are the third group of animals: omnivores.

    In contrast, carnivores have less fat in their meat due to the food chain, so the taste of meat is not as fragrant as that of herbivores.

    2.Nutrients: Herbivore meat contains more vitamins, minerals, and fiber, while carnivore meat contains more protein and fat. Humans need a variety of nutrients to stay healthy, and herbivore meat can provide a more complete set of nutrients.

    3.Cultural influence: In many cultures, herbivore meat is seen as a high-quality, luxurious food.

    Some animals such as cows, sheep, and horses have also been domesticated by humans for thousands of years and have become one of the earliest domestic animals, so people also have an emotional dependence on the meat of these animals. It is important to note that modern science has confirmed that a high intake of red meat in the long term increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer, so we should still consume a variety of foods in moderation in the steak diet and maintain a healthy diet.

    There may be several factors:

    Traditional habits: In some areas, eating meat from herbivores has become a traditional habit, which may be related to various factors such as religious beliefs, geographical environment, etc.

    Nutrients: The meat of grass-fed chops is usually tender and rich in nutrients such as protein, minerals and vitamins.

    Healthy foods: Herbivores are generally considered healthier than carnivores because their meat contains less fat and cholesterol.

    Breeding methods: Herbivores are usually kept in a natural environment, which is good for environmental changers to protect the spring.

    The above factors do not apply to all humans and all cultures, so there may be other factors that influence human food preferences.

    Mainly because herbivores have more delicious meat, and secondly, herbivores like chickens, ducks and geese are cheap and common, and grasses are abundant on the earth, and herbivores will not lack food. In recent years, due to the phenomenon of indiscriminate hunting and killing of wild people, no matter what kind of animal has been reduced, people have destroyed the balance of the natural world. The number of carnivores that live on herbivores is small and expensive, and most of them are nationally protected animals and difficult to catch, so they naturally choose to eat the meat of herbivores.

    The main balance is because the meat quality of herbivores is more delicious, and herbivores are easy to keep pure, carnivores are not easy to obtain and live in the wild, and they often carry more germs. So humans are more inclined to eat the meat of herbivores.

    Whether humans are herbivores or carnivores are varied and their views differ. However, determining whether a herbivore or a carnivore involves anatomy. From an anatomical point of view, humans are more like herbivores.

    1. The length of the intestine: the intestines of carnivores are 3-6 times longer than their bodies, while the intestines of herbivores are 10-12 times longer than their own length. The length of the intestine in humans is the same as that of herbivores.

    2. Stomach acidity: The acidity of the stomach of carnivores is 20 times stronger than that of herbivores. Stomach acidity in humans is similar to that of herbivores.

    3. Saliva: The saliva of carnivores is acidic. The saliva of herbivores is alkaline, which aids in the digestion of plant foods. Human saliva is alkaline.

    4. Morphology of the intestines: The intestines of carnivores are smooth, shaped like pipes, and there are no bumps in them - so meat can pass through quickly. The herbivore's intestines are rugged, full of protrusions and folds, like a mountain trail, so that plant foods can be absorbed as much as possible while passing slowly.

    The intestinal characteristics of humans are similar to those of herbivores.

    5. Fiber: Carnivores don't need fiber to lubricate their short, smooth intestines. Herbivores need edible fiber to help move food through their long, bumpy digestive tracts, so that their intestines don't become clogged with fermented food.

    Humans have the same needs as herbivores.

    6. Cholesterol: Cholesterol is only found in animal foods, and plant foods do not contain this element. Cholesterol is not a problem at all for the digestive system of carnivores, and carnivores such as cats can eat high-cholesterol foods at will without affecting their health at all.

    Humans can't do it. Humans don't need to supplement their diet with cholesterol because we can produce it ourselves.

    7. Claws and teeth: Carnivores have claws and fangs that can be used for catching, but do not have flat molars for chewing. Herbivores do not have claws or fangs that can be hunted, but have flat molars that can be used for chewing. Humans have the same characteristics as herbivores.

    Anatomically, humans are not as compatible with omnivores as they are with herbivores. The characteristics of omnivores are more similar to those of carnivores.

    I can't eat without meat, so people belong to omnivores, not only vegetarian but also meat, but also belong to the subclass of beasts, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years ago, human ancestors not only ate wild fruits but also hunted and ate meat, and also ate meat raw like lions and tigers, because there was no fire at that time, when humans belonged to apes before, there were four long fangs (canine teeth) in their mouths, and then they ate cooked meat, and the bite force of the teeth degenerated, and the canine teeth also became shorter

    In fact, there are 3 main reasons why humans rarely eat meat from carnivoresFirst of all, there is the issue of population, we will find that in the natural environment, the population of herbivores is very large, and they are also one of the easiest animals to hunt, so our ancestors have been eating herbivores for a long time.

    In addition to this, we are also selective about meatGenerally speaking, the meat of herbivores is relatively tender and tastes better, while the meat of carnivores will basically have more miscellaneous flavors, and the meat quality is much worse than that of herbivores, not only rough, but also very old.

    However, our ancestors had tamed a lot of livestock and could breed them in large quantities, so that they could provide themselves with meat for a long time, so they no longer had to hunt for food.

    A long time ago, when you went from Urumqi to Yili, you had to pass through a place with mountains and canyons on both sides, and that place was called Guozigou.

    But at that time, there was no high-speed, after heavy snowfall, into the fruit ditch, if you go to the middle of the fruit ditch, sometimes there will be an avalanche, blocking the road ahead, on both sides of the cliffs, had to turn back.

    When I returned to the entrance of Guozigou, something unfortunate happened again, and there was also an avalanche at the entrance, blocking the way back.

    The camel team had to spend it inside, resigned to fate, there was no ** at that time, let alone the rescue of the plane or something.

    At the beginning of the spring of the following year, I didn't expect that there were people in the camel team who were still alive, and 55 people entered, and only 12 people were alive.

    Ask them how they spent the long winter, saying that they killed camels to eat. Some people say, that's not enough, they are vague.

    When I asked them what about the other victims, they said they were burned when they died.

    But seeing that their condition does not look like they are starving, how can those people starve to death?

    A long time has passed, once, a group of people in the village were idling, some people said, I don't know what human flesh tastes like, once a person who experienced that avalanche accident said that it is not delicious, especially human flesh, is sour.

    When others asked him if you had eaten, he said no more.

    So, I can conclude that not eating carnivores is definitely bad meat, and it really may be sour.

    Of course, my grandfather told me this story, and he listened to his grandfather...

In terms of biological knowledge, it means that because carnivores are at the top of the food chain, they feed on herbivores such as grass, sheep, wolves, grasses, rabbits, foxes, etc. In the food chain, energy flows in one direction and decreases gradually, with a transfer rate of 10 20 (i.e., only 10 20 of the total energy of producers and consumers at each level can pass through the food chain to the next level). Moreover, toxic substances also increase with the food chain, the higher the trophic level, the more toxic substances accumulate in the organism, and the trophic level of carnivores is higher than that of herbivores, so the accumulation of toxins in carnivores is higher than that in herbivores. >>>More
