________________ 5. Have strong hydrochloric acid in stomach to digest meat. 5. Have stomach acid that is 20 times weaker than that of a meateater. 6. Salivary glands in mouth not needed to pre-digest grains and fruits. 6. Well-developed salivary, which are necessary to pre-digest grains & fruits. 7. Saliva acidic with no enzyme ptyalin to predigest grains. 7. Saliva alkaline with ptyalin to predigest grains. The alkaline saliva does not act properly on meat. 8. They drink water by sucking it with their lips. 8. They lap up water with their tongues. Another logical argument in favour of the proposition that the humans are not meant to eat meat is the fact that all omnivorous and carnivorous animals eat their meat raw. When a lion kills a herbivore for food, it tears right into the stomach area to eat the organs that are filled with blood (nutrients). While eating the stomach, liver, intestine, etc., the lion laps the blood in the process of eating the dead animal's flesh. Even bears that are omnivores eat salmon raw. However, eating raw or bloody meat disgusts us as humans. Therefore, we cook it and season it to buffer the taste of flesh. However, in sharp contrast, a carnivorous animal will not eat flesh if it is cooked. Even circus lions have to be fed raw meat so that they will not starve to death. If humans were truly meant to eat meat, then like animals we would have preferred to eat all of our meat raw and bloody. The thought of eating such raw meat makes one's stomach turn sick as it is nauseating to the eater.
