Human beings are omnivores and are defined as generalized feeders, with neither carnivore nor herbivore specializations for acquiring or processing food, and who are capable of consuming and do consume both animal protein and vegetation.
Lets start with how food gets in: Our mouth
We have both molars and canine teeth....molars for grinding but like every other animal on this planet with canines...we are adapted to eat meat!
Our digestive system:
Unlike herbivores that have a long gut with huge multi-chambered stomachs for digesting an all vegetable diet....our gut is short and designed for calorie dense foods like animal protein.... It also produces powerful acids for digesting animal protein unlike herbivores that have a more alkaline digestive profile.
Also....every animal on this planet that is herbivorous produces a digestive enzyme called cellulace for digesting vegetable matter.
Human beings do not produce cellulace....in fact we can't! We don't have the metabolic equipment to do so.
Also...certain nutrients that human beings require are only found in animal protein .......B12 of course being the big one.
So yes you've been misled!
