Is meat-eating morally wrong?

Our teeth aren't capable to rip through the flesh of other animals. We have one set of canines. And even those are incredibly dull. They don't reach downward like the teeth of other predators either. If you think that one set of dull teeth gives us the capability to rip through flesh, then that's your personal choice really.

We can't eat rotted meat like other predators. Other predators have digestive systems which allow them to kill the bacteria that forms on rotten meat. On the other hand, if a human eats rotten meat, he'll probably get sick or die. We have to apply flames to food to avoid illness because our bodies just can't handle it.

Most predators are incredibly agile, strong, and fast, in order to catch their predators. Humans, on the other hand, are one of the slowest, weakest animals to have ever existed. Our bodies aren't equipped to catch other animals.

Predators tend to have night vision. Humans don't.

The leading cause of death in America is heart disease, which is usually caused by excessive fat which is usually from meat.

all of this of course isn't conclusive evidence, but it does lend me to believe that its not natural for humans to eat meat, at least not a lot of meat. It was probably natural for us to eat an occasional insect or rodent, but plants were really meant to be the vast majority of our diet imo.

Sure, they did it, don't think they thought that much about why, humans have digestive systems that can break down allmost anything (except grass etc.). If your body is capable to eat a certain thing (wo. throwing up.. like with grass i.e.) why wouldn't it be called natural? (since our ancestors waaaaaay back ate meat too) just got stuck on that one line and got interested to hear your thoughts why :) 'cause thats ilogical thinking' /slander /callingNames /rude and all that.. :P

1. We have one set of canines because we are omnivores. If we weren't meant to eat meat at all then we would have flat teeth all around. If we were meant to eat strictly meat then yes we would fail.

2. we can't eat rotten fruit or veggies either.

3. If we aren't equipped to catch other animals how come we do it so well?

And so the serial killer explained in court:

"If I wasn't intended to kill other humans how come I do it so well?"
