Great work and love the images you put in.
Since cats are carnivores, they lack the digestive enzymes necessary to properly digest plant matter, which results in vomiting. When a cat regurgitates the grass, other indigestible matter like hairballs are also eliminated from the body, providing relief.
Personally I eat meat because it lets me throw up all the plant matter and hair I end up licking off my body. Good video
@@j.hammat177 haha nice
Citation needed for human stomach acid pH. Most sources I've found seem to say it's 1.5-3
Same. I love the video, but all sources I have food suggest that gastric acid's pH is between 1.5-3. Just want some clarification.
www.alleganynutrition.com/supporting-pages/the-human-digestive-tract-ph-range-diagram/
I had a hard time finding more information about that as well. I think the reference to stomach pH is when food is in the stomach, rather than the pH of just the stomach acid. For carnivores, they maintain a highly acidic (1-2) pH, while the stomach pH of omnivores/herbavores increases to 4-5.
Mic. Love the channel, however as a vegan myself too many of us make too much of the herbivore argument. Even if we we're completely omnivore it doesn't change the fact that a properly planned vegan diet is healthy, sustainable and far more moral than a more omnivorous diet, and that is a far better argument than the herbivore one.
Moral? Are you trying to impose your personal values on others who do not agree with you? Morality is a personal choice. Ask any prochoice advocate.
Not aborting is the more moral choice too, your point?
Hi mobile. You live in a country whose elected politicians in New York recently legislated the legality of abortion right up to the point of a human being severed from his/her umbilicus. How can you possibly expect such people to be concerned about snails, mice, and cows? The news showed supporters of this legislation gleefully applauding and rejoicing its signing into law.
@@johnc.8298 Is it ok if I murder someone in your family then? Don't impose your morals on me. And no, that isn't a threat. It's to demonstrate the absurdity of your argument.
RefusesCookies. I'm borrowing the phrase "Don't impose your morals[values] on me" from the feminist's and prochoice groups that frequently used that same phrase towards the anti-abortion groups. Interestingly no one in the media or other places ever questioned the validity of this phrase. Why has it taken so long for a voice (yours) to identify this phrase as the "absurdity" you claim it to be?. Very interesting indeed.
Some of the bigger vegan channels should shoutout this guy. He deserves way bigger audience.
Iulian the ability to gain energy from meat does not imply evolutionary pressure to consume meat.Hippos can and do in some cases eat animals,and gain energy from it,they do not however actively seek out flesh unless under extraordinary pressures not in their natural habitat.It is by mere chance to my knowledge that Hippos can get energy from meat.This is highly fallacious as well,"I can use Algae based fuels in a Diesel engine,therefore the Diesel engine is a algae engine" perfectly exemplifies said fallacy.You have committed a non-sequitur.It *DOES NOT* follow that because you have the ability to do something evolutionary pressures MUST have led you to do in order to reproduce.
Sotiris Krol metal gear?
I agree! More exposure will help win over the masses - one person at a time.
Fantastic video, thanks so much for making and sharing this!
What music do you use in your videos?
You missed one important fact - herbivores have 4 chamber stomachs to digest grass and plant foods, but not humans.
Therefore humans are omnivores
Nonsense
No dude, only ruminant herbivores have 4 chamber stomachs, humans are non ruminant herbivores.
lies. there are herbivores with 1 stomach and some e multiple
@@nightblade4713 No we aren't. All of the indigenous tribes that live around the world have eaten animal based diets or carnivore diets. We changed from apes and started eating meat and that's what made us humans. Our small intestine became longer and our colons got smaller to digest animal foods instead of plants, and our brains got bigger from eating meat too. There are 15 essential nutrients that are not bioavailable from plants (vitamin A,D,K), collagen, etc. Meat is way more nutrient dense than plant foods. Most plants in the wild are not edible to humans and we wouldn't be able to survive on plants at all.
"In our culture acting like an omnivore is normal... but nowadays it's also normal to be sick."
That quote right there says ALOT, doesn't it? But of course more people are going to come in with their " higher knowledge " and call the healthy one insane when in fact they are just calling themselves insane. I mean why not lead in example if they are so effing healthy and great? They can't, now can they? lol Sad though that most of the bad sides of the vegan community has gotten out to the public and so then of course those highly analytical and opinionated people will put their stamp on Vegans being idiots and so forth. It's indeed a challenge to be a Vegan in a totally close minded society. I'm super happy for those who have more options and support. Wish it became more of a thing and something more worthwhile to watch on TV other than the dawn of BS lies and social conditioning.. x.x
djaldd420 nowadays?bitch just 100 years ago if you lived till 40 you were lucky if you didnt die of some disease,tuberculosis was normal,now the life expectancy is 74 the longest we ever had and we are consuming way more meat than ever.
JaCk MeOff
so modern medicine is able drag out the lifespan a bit.
I challenge you to spend a week in a retirement home and observe the "quality "of life that these people endure.
most generally, they are miserable.
at 70 youre an old fart no matter how many carrots you eat nor skiping a few steaks and replacing them with more of them VEGAN french fries is gonna make a difference.
"In our culture, acting like a fan of hard rock is normal... but in our culture it's also normal to be sick"
The levels of cognitive dissonance here is insane
That wolf with the watermelon is fucking adorable!
The human stomach has a ph of about 1, not 4 as was suggested in the video
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4519257/
I just love your videos so much. Thank You!
Great video! Thanks for putting in all this awesome work :)
Awesome as always, Mic!
Isn't our pH closer to the more in between 1 and 2? Unless you're talking about during digestion.
Great content. Great quality. Love you.
For everyone who thinks this video was debunked below, here is my response video: th-cam.com/video/vQyQS3d86BA/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this video. Shared and re-shared. Superior work.
Excellent !!!
I guess you have nether heard of Umami and MSG www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2013/apr/09/umami-fifth-taste
Yeah. That was one detail off, but the rest is solid.
Also, a number of plant foods contain glutamines and give an umami flavor, so there's that.
You people don't know your head from your ass.
Glutamate is one of the most important excitatory neurotransmitters in the brain. More than half the brain's synapses use glutamate. It is responsible for countless operations in the brain and is extremely important to IQ and memory. You also need it to make GABA.
As a side note: Don't confuse glutamine, glutamic acid, and glutamate.
Here's one example of why glutamate is not your enemy any more than any other neurotransmitter is your enemy: Down Syndrome involves a significant imbalance in the GABA-glutamate relationship. People with DS have way too much GABA activity and too little glutamate activity (they have fewer active glutamate receptors). Get it?
I heard this other moron say some other plant foods contain glutamine - he says it as if glutamine isn't the most abundant amino acid in protein - you will find significant percentages of glutamine in ANY PROTEIN SOURCE no matter if it's meat, fish, insect, plant, whatever.
Monosodium glutamate is a very common naturally occurring amino acid. It doesn't do anything particularly evil in the brain and the bullshit scary myths about it have been debunked. It's not a poison and it's not a sugar, it doesn't naturally occur in foods to make them tastier, so stop acting like it is.
great video man!
Your content is the best! Keep it up.
This guy is deceptive when he says apes(our closest relative)are herbivores. Chimpanzees are our closest relative and they are omnivores. We also have been eating massive amounts of meat for like 2 million years. We are Omnivores.
That really doesn't make sense. Just because you've been eating meat for a long time. Then add it to your list of bad habits
@@delontashieldssr The diet a species literally evolved on is not a "habit". Human's primary diet has always been meat.
Chimps are omnivores, but they are dentally adapted to eat flesh unlike us. Even so not all chimp bands consume flesh and when they do it’s about 9 days per year.
Chimps are actually herbivores just because they eat meat doesn’t mean they are omnivores. Majority of their diet is plants and they eat meat once in a while.
@@ayeoritset5049 According to who? Chimps are universally accepted as Omnivores.
i think i just went vegan o.o
Do it!
man, i poop alot now.
+Rick B did you really go vegan?
+DDD033 yes! i searched up alot of stuff about veganisme and i decided to give it a go.
Good for you, just don't give up. The temptation for meat and diary will go away, it's just a stupid addiction (=
Oh my god that meat picture was disgusting
i love this video!! very informative!! thanks!!
longest living country on Earth: Hong Kong. What do they eat? On average one pound of meat per person. data pool of 7 million people.
without cholesterol your hormones will become destroyed. Cholesterol is a precursor to your hormones as a human being.
Most studies you cite on humans being sick on animal-based diets are not actually meat eaters, but junk food eaters. Hot dogs, burgers, etc. from junk food restaurants are drowned in vegetable oils. Study people who eat pure meat instead.
Vegetable oils are the leading cause of heart attacks due to how easily oxidized they are.
Most fruits and vegetables are man made today. There is no such thing as lettuce or broccoli in nature. If you ate a wild carrot you would die.
One of the countries with the worst life expectancy is India: vegetarians/vegans have horrible life expectancy especially when they have been vegetarian from childhood.
Isotopic testing shows we ate pounds and pounds of meat most likely raw during our lifetime as a species.
Meat is how we survived the ice age.
We have a stomach acid of pH = 1-2. Herbivorous animals have a way less acidic stomach.
We have a similar digestive system to that of a wolf.
We did not develop claws and fangs because of evolution. We were primarily herbivores but due to changes in the environment we ADAPTED to eating and surviving off meat.
We do not possess the ability to turn fiber into fat like gorillas do through the pyruvate cycle. And NO ANIMAL ON EARTH EATS ONLY PLANTS. they also eat insects like ants. No animal on Earth can live without eating other animals including insects.
We can only get fat which is essential for our hormones as a HUMAN. This is why babies need only milk from the mother. They need the saturated fat (breast milk is around 50% saturated fat) to grow into a human being. Without saturated fat they would grow up with severe health issues...
We are carnivores. We cannot digest vegetables. This is why all the vegetables in the store are man-made versions. You need meat to thrive. You kill more animals, an entire ecosystem by spraying pesticides, insecticides and rodenticides in vegetable farming. True carnivores eat two cows a year if they eat the entire cow.
Stop acting morally superior and wake up. Get your emotions out of this for a day and start taking care of the most important animal; your own species. Human Beings. Stop caring for an animal who would kill and eat you if they had the chance and rejoin the natural cycle of life.
Stop listening to vegans whos brains are degenerating because their brains (made up of 70% saturated fat) are not getting the fat fuel they need to function. Mental illness is from poor nourishment.
Search how the carnivore diet study done by Harvard reversed a lot of "incurable" illnesses such as autoimmune disorders and other health issues.
If you are vegan purely for health purposes, I suggest reevaluating your research and choices. Make sure its not by organizations with an agenda.
If you are doing it for ethical reasons, think about all the rodents, insect and entire ecosystems your destroying.
"We are carnivores. We cannot digest vegetables. This is why all the vegetables in the store are man-made versions. You need meat to thrive. You kill more animals, an entire ecosystem by spraying pesticides, insecticides and rodenticides in vegetable farming. True carnivores eat two cows a year if they eat the entire cow. "
False. We are omnivore and we can digest vegetables. Not all vegetables are "man-made" versions and not everyone get their vegetables from the store.
Great video as always but the end though.... it's priceless 😂😂😂
The amount of times I have had to tell meat eaters that carnivores can eat a certain amount of vegetation and herbivores can eat a certain amount of meat, We seen big cats for example eat bits of vegetation and we know livestock are fed other dead animals sometimes and they don't die instantly they get diseases and then die which is why mad cow disease is linked with feeding other dead animals to cows.
Great video once again, I wish the other youtubers would share your channel.
Duestraw53 cool Despite the evidence proving otherwise try to use reason and evidence next time.
Duestraw53 cool Poor non argument thus invalided, put up or shut up.
Duestraw53 cool You are commenting on a video which proves humans are herbivores and you state no humans are omnivores with no proof, either prove it or don't waste my time.
Duestraw53 cool Small minded thinking, you are clearly not aware livestock like Cows are often fed other dead animals correct? guess what ? they do not die straight away they get disease over time much like humans do from eating meat are cows now omnivore ?
You also get cats and other carnivores that eat vegetation are they now omnivores ? no moron they are not, if you actually watch the video you would notice this is what it was addressing rather then coming on here just stating your own ignorance.
Duestraw53 cool "Cats don't eat vegan food and other carnivores don't
It's just meat or its artificial"
Yes i've seen cats eat vegetation before google it, and yes there is vegan forms of cat food as well.
"And the cows aren't fed dead animals
They eat vegan stuff"
Yes it's well known cows are some times fed other grounded up dead animals as a form of filler which tends to be cheap other then corn and soy etc google it.
pH 4-5??? What are you talking about???
How can you claim this when many human traits evolved to be ideal for persistence hunting such as our ability to run long distances better than many animals, minimal hair, and the way we sweat.
Evolution is not real
So true. Humans are number 1 when it comes to endurance. Wolves and dogs are second. We need.the lung power to gather all the veggies in a day 😂
It’s because he’s a paid shill of the establishment. You really believe someone can be this ignorant and dumb for almost a decade or longer…
All fat and sick people have one thing in common: they believe humans are omnivores.
+1imesub My BMI is 22.2 and i eat meat almost every day -_-
Martin Daskalov You mean corpses?
1imesub And?
Martin Daskalov Are you dumb?
1imesub How come you focus only on animals like cows, pigs and chickens. And never focus on the amount of vermin that were killed by traps, ammunition and poisoning by your organic farmers to preserve your seeds and veggies? I dont see how that makes you more ethical than us?
You are like the youtuber that unnatural Vegan thinks she is
Thanks for putting in the work to compile this so well ^__^
If Hitler was a vegetarian then why did the Nazis eat all the animals in Norway.... hmmm?

+VeganRevolution Unnatural Vegan provides excellent information on plant diets. Please stop targeting her as a menace. As if you don't have some serious faults.
Nah I'm good thanks Tobias Brown fuck "plant diets" and if she is able to make a living of critiquing others who spread Veganism then I don't think she deserves any immunity - in fact she has it coming :)
VeganRevolution Reap what you sow. You have 8.7% of her followers. You're a jealous, face-mask wearing creep who occasionally does something productive for veganism.
Maybe if I did a video on why fruit makes you fat or taste test TVP I would get a bigger audience Tobias Brown
So, Mic, how many stomachs do you have and how big is your cecum? How many times do you regurgitate your plants to chew it again to digest it properly?
Wow, I learned a lot. Keep it up!
Great video, brother! Well reasoned and presented, top marks all round!
When I clicked on this video, a 5 minute commercial from Whole Foods about cheese pops up. Irony.
Hi, could you please answer this question because I am writing a research paper and I need help. Could you link a study or source that shows that longer intestines lead to more cholesterol absorption? I have been looking for ages but I can not find one. That would be so helpful.
Yet another great video!
Humans are naturally herbivores.
We are behavioral omnivores.
We are biologically omnivores veganbiologist.com/2016/01/04/humans-are-not-herbivores/
We evolved to be omnivores,
We can't be behavioral omnivores I'd We weren't in the first place.
Will watch until fully memorized. Awesome video.
Another great video... You are AMAZING.
I really appreciate the logic behind your arguments.
"(Cat's) often eat plants" rofl I'm done.
They do...
@@miqq2961 don't forget the fact that they also throw it up
They eat plants to induce being sick for whatever reason to clear their stomach etc
GREAT VIDEO
Brilliant and absolutely convincing (consistent with what I have always felt but never been able to articulate)!
Very educational, thank you.
watching this video i face palmed so hard that my hand literally went trough my skull, into my brain, and out the backside of my head.
But why?
@@PintagoGuitars idk dude it was 4 years ago lol
@@williamwade2674 I just watched the video like yesterday 😁
Mic, isn’t the human pH 1.5 to 3.5?
Patrick Farmer shhh, he only likes talking about our teeth and nails.
It is. That is the stomach's neutral state. I guess MIC was talking about the pH with food in it. It is 4 - 5 and can reach 6 when there's food in our stomach
So good!!! Thank you for this wonderful video ♥
Could anyone help me find the link to any study showing that human PH is 4-5? Everywhere else they write it is 1.5-3.5
He is a liar all studies that have been done have shown that humans have an average of 1.5 and can be as low as 1 and anything higher than 2 causes stomach cancer I can sight the studies if you want
Veganism is great! Constipation gone! Blood work, Fantastic! Body odor, nonexistent! Erections, at will and rock hard! Why would you want to live any other way?!!!!
...vegans are scientifically more likely to get urinary tract infections ans cancers.
This is absolutely false. Please direct me to your scientific study.
Actually veganism cures many low level mental imbalances. Have you seen the movie supersize me?
violatione You're basing your dietary choices on a movie that is just meant to show that fast food is unhealthy?
Zane, don´t waste your time on these "herbivores"
A true omnivore/carnivore would be very attracted to-drawn to-salivating at the sight of-a piece of raw meat dripping with blood!-John Paradise
A bloody rare piece of steak? You bet your ass I am. As a matter of fact I have to go to the grocery store later. I think I know what I'm having for dinner. A rare ribeye, a baked potato with sour cream, and some buttered peas. I'm actually drooling right now thinking of it.

..............I know how meat tastes mate..leave the potato and peas alone though, they are vegan dont even touch em just kiddin heheh anyway who cares what u eat really you are just obnoxious that's all,
jerachin
Well there is a bit of healthy perspective not often seen in the vegan community.
Hi Mic, do you think that herbivores actually exist? Would there be one animal that is best of health and longevity wise eating a mixed diet?
amazing video!!!
thank you!!
Fun Fact: humans started to eat meat 2.5 million years ago
Fun fact: that was survival. Fun fact 2: our bodies never adapted to it...
+auggiedoggy I'm so sorry
+auggiedoggy on average. the average us vegan diet is far from prudent.
+LuluGrace7 fun fact 3, yes we did.
our bodies are more than adapted to it,given we get calories,protein and fat from meat.and herbivore will not get this from meat,its like us eating grass
Hey Mic, first of all, I really like your channel, thanks for the great work!
This video was very informative and I totally believe that a plant based whole foods diet is the healthiest for humans.
But don't you think that your conclusion should be that we are omnivores that are better off eating like herbivores, instead of that we are indeed herbivores? Beeeecaaaauuuse the inuits? I saw your video on this topic and I do not doubt, that it is not very healthy to eat a meat based diet nor is it a justification to eat meat because they do, but they do survive on it right? And I believe their life expectancy isn't to bad, they don't die at age 30 or so. So it seems as if humans can live of meat and of plants, what makes them omnivores... Or am I wrong here? Would it theoretically be possible to take any herbivore and feed it meat and it would live an unhealthy but quite long life? Because then one could label humans herbivores as well.. Hope the last part makes sense haha.
In response to your last question, let's use a rabbit as an example.
A few things to take note of. Physiological capabilities, time, lifestyle, metabolism, human versus rabbit anatomy.
Rabbits don't have the physiological capabilities to obtain energy and nutrients from animal material.
Theoretically, you could take the nutrients from animal material, put it in a powder form, and give it to the rabbit for easy absorption. But at that point it's not really "animal material." It's just nutrients taking from animal material.
Rabbits only live to be about 8 or 12 years old and live extremely active lives. Humans nowadays eat more meat than ever, and are also less active than ever. The only way to truly give a rabbit health problems, is if you put it in a lab situation and find a special concoction to induce heart disease, in such a short timeframe, while keeping the rabbit in active as possible. It would basically require torture and the animal.
So, it's a complex matter.
The very act of staying alive by metabolizing materials is essentially killing you. Your cells can truly only divide so many times, so the issue is, food is actually killing you anyway. As with humans, it's not really often you die just because of your diet entirely alone. It often is that along with the many other complications like living in an active lifestyle, eating particularly on healthy types of meat, etc. And as with the inuit, good genetics help!
Lastly, the human body and a rabbits body are extremely different. It's difficult to use statistics or information over one side, and use it as a means to draw conclusions over another.
So in short, the answer is no. It's not the same thing.
Humans with the ability to resist such issues were not being naturally selected for. Primarily because a lot of those issues only become detrimental past the age of producing offspring and having them grow up. Let alone the fact that you'd be comparing people up today to individuals who have existed over the past two or so million years.
Nobody said that meat needs to be optimal for our health for us to be able to make use of it. It was a "dirty fuel" that provided food security for people over the ages.
We can recognize that humans are omnivores, which we are, but don't have to keep making excuses for meat beyond what it was included into our diet for. Food security.
You my friend, you are an absolute God hahaha! I have so much fun watching every video from your channel :D!
Great video👍🏼
An omnivore is an animal that eats plant and animals for sustananence. Ergo, humans are omnivores. We don't have long, sharp canines because we are evolutionary superior (by virtue of intellece and dexterous hands) to animals that require them and sharp teeth ate more prone to break. By the same token, humans can't digest many grains but we have the intellect to cook them first.
Yeah right.. you're right.. this is hard for most people to grasp..
Humans ate things especially meat .. out of necessity ...
We can cook things and we are not herbivores. .. we are omnivores just cuz of the fact that our ancestors ate meat.. and plants..
But since we are intelligent. . We can thrive on a plant based diet..
Fat is important ,on the contrary to the popular belief of most vegans "they are not".. but they are..
But really loved what you have to say..
why do all vegans cherry pick their information. The reason why we don't immediately think "buffet" when we look at animals on the internet is because most of us are very civilized creatures. We are not out hunting or forging for food like we did when we were hunter gatherers. We have a disconnection and a very distorted perception of where our food comes from. That being said, if we were forced to live in nature again and face starvation on a regular basis, I think even gary yourofsky's mouth would salivate while his predator instincts kick in being face to face with a rabbit or dear.
Great video!
Hey there, just wondering where you got the data about stomach pH levels? Otherwise great video!
He pulled it out of his a@SS
The great taxonomist Carolus Linnaeus, (1707-1778), a Swedish naturalist and botanist who established the modern scientific method of classifying plants and animals, classified humans not as carnivores, not as omnivores, nor even as herbivores, but as frugivores.
@Vellefrugivores are herbivores, if fruit is your preferred source that means you would rather eat a fruit rather than hunt- meaning you're an herbivore.
you slayed this lol I'm proud to be vegan
Ikr??
It's a good feeling being veg :)
Vic O 😂😂😂 You toooooo wild
But what about a balance of meat and veggies/fruits? ;-;
@@blueblaze2330 check out what the WHO recommend for nutrition 🤔
www.who.int/en/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/healthy-diet
I'm a meat eater, and from the personal research I've done on this topic, we humans seem to have gone from being possibly 100% herbivorous to mostly herbivorous omnivores who only recently started eating meat and other animal products, and therefore have not completely adapted to it.
@@Soohable While I think many people eat too much meat, I also think people eat too many plant based carbs as well. Fat, sugar, and salt are the three magic ingredients that make food taste good, and both plant and animal food sources tend to contain too much of those to be considered healthy. At least in the US, where eating habits are so awful.
"Muh fangs and claws" Tell that to the Blue Whale who is a strict carnivore.
You shattered his argument lmao
@@iicii77 Vegans talk a big game about how they care about animals but know very little about them.
When they hear "Carnivore" their knowledge ends at the big cats. It never occurred to them that whales and hagfish are Carnivores or that Venus Fly Traps aren't just Carnivorous Plants in name.
Dude "researches" by Google searching studies that agree with him and doesn't know enough to critique them. How he can think to profess to millions of people is beyond me.
@Vinícius JR It never occurred to him that we don't have large fangs because we don't use our teeth to choke animals to death or tear flesh from bone. We have hands and tools.
He's your typical urbanite who's experience with nature ends at a controlled national park.
Humans are herbivores, yet the only plants we find edible are 1% of the total of plant life in this planet, most of this 1% also happen to be seasonal. Well done spock...logic at its finest
"
Humans are herbivores" There is no serious scientist who would agree with that statement.
And most of the produce section does not occur in nature.
There was a shift in the climate millions of years ago that resulted in seasons and cooler periods which altered the availability of suitable vegetation. We have had to alter our behaviour and do many maladaptive things to survive that.
@@Spounge84 Opinions don’t count, the data is there along with the logic so the argument is sound.
Animals only make up .47% of the total biomass of the earth though. So that 1% you mentioned is a lot more than you thought.
*"In our culture, acting like an omnivore is normal, but nowadays it's also normal to be sick"* Yes! I face palm every time a meat eater says eating meat is "normal" and "healthy"; I'm like...dude, are you blind? How can you look around you or read statistics and still think this is what normal looks like?
Eating a mix of meat and veggies is the healthiest diet.
+Cookie face No because meat is literally killing us - did you even watch the video??
+LuluGrace7 State why.
they learn to love their disease. im not joking.
+HerrUberMensch Watch the video... I'm not a scientist!! All I know is that the consumption of animal products is directly proportional to the chances of contracting various diseases such as cancer and diabetes.
Good one Mic!
Hmm
This has me thinking
This isn't necessarily to "debunk", just a bit of curiosity
We know there are carnivores like cats that we've observed eating plants for various reasons
Have there been herbivores observed eating meat? If so, do we know if there was any psychological kickback for them having done so?
I've heard very little in terms of the science of animals' compassion, with the exception of dogs and some animals for their own kind. Is there any evidence of remorse for eating another creature to be an herbivorous trait and not strictly human?
Your videos are great!
Holy hell your vids just keep getting better! Please never stop, Mic!
So great!! Thanks! Great job!
How are the teeth and other body parts of a herbivore adapted or suited to its diet
I read our gastric acid is 1.5 to 3.5 though, or that it can vary anywhere between 1-5
Our carnivoros traits
Humans have many small fat cells like all carnivores. ‘Pond and Mattacks compared the structure of fat cells in various types of animals. Carnivores were found to have a higher number of smaller fat cells and omnivores a smaller number of larger fat cells. Humans were found to be at the top of the carnivorous pattern. Pond and Mattacks conclude: “These figures suggest that the energy metabolism of humans is adapted to a diet in which lipids and proteins rather than carbohydrates, make a major contribution to the energy supply.”’
Humans have the stomach acidity of a unique carnivore. ‘Humans had a high level of acidity of 1.5 that lies between that of obligate and facultative scavengers. Producing acidity, and retaining the stomach walls to contain that acidity, is energetically expensive, so would presumably only evolve if the level of pathogens in the human diet was high.’ Note that herbivoros primates have a stomach pH varying from around 4 to 6 [17]. Most omnivores are between 2 and 4 [17].
As previously noted, humans have a reduced energy extraction capacity from plants. ‘Our large intestine, where fiber is processed to energy, is 77% smaller by volume than that of a chimpanzee our size … The size and our small intestine, where -macronutrients are absorbed is 62% larger than that of a chimpanzee our size … the gut morphology adaptations both improved animal food exploitation and at the same time hindered the full exploitation of fibrous plant foods’
Humans substituted primate climbing capabilities for an adaptation to throwing. ‘Roach et al claim that the structure of our shoulder represents an adaptation to carnivory. They describe how our shoulder is perfectly adapted to throwing, which must be useful, in their opinion, mainly in hunting and protection from predators. They show that in contrast, the chimpanzee’s shoulder is adapted to climbing trees.’
Humans have much higher fat reserves than chimps, our closest relatives [3]. Carrying a high amount of fat costs energy and reduces the speed of chasing or fleeting, but gives us the ability to go periods without food while we hunt and scavenge. Apes are constantly eating and surrounded by plants, and don’t need this function. If we were constantly eating plants, we wouldn’t have adapted this way.
Human jaws and teeth shrank, forfeiting chewing capabilities. We know early humans crafted tools to help process meat, even before fire. It takes 39% to 46% less force to chew and swallow processed meat than processed root foods [11]. Evolution chose to forgo the ability to properly chew certain plant-based foods to allow for more room in the skull [11]. The ability to use tools also explains why we don’t have carnivorous fangs - we didn’t have to tear raw flesh from a carcass with our bare teeth.

@@bumbee795 "Carnivores have powerful jaws to bite and hold prey. Their front teeth (incisors) are short, pointed, and prong-like for grasping and shredding meat. Their teeth are widely spaced to avoid trapping stringy debris. They have long, sharp, pointed canine teeth, with the ability to stab, tear into meat, and to kill their prey. Carnivores eat their food whole, so there no need for chewing. Therefore, they have very few molars, and the ones they have are triangular with jagged edges to shear meat. The jaw moves up and down to quickly bite and swallow."
lol, since we use tools we dont need that, all human babys survive with a 0 plant diet...

Found your video from vegan revolution!! This is awesome - so much great info.
+Cheap Lazy Vegan Awesome thanks!! I love your stuff! Very stylish and super important since everyone is always using expense and effort as excuses to not go vegan.
He is lying, don't believe him
I also believe there needs to be chimpanzee retraining programs created. Chimpanzee’s should have to justify the FACT they hunt and eat meat (up to a ton a year), do they do this unnecessarily (we share over 98% of our genetic code with them by the way)!
th-cam.com/video/RQq93Q2txrs/w-d-xo.html we
We need to teach them (and all omnivores) to stop this evil practice! They don't understand the Implications they are having on the environment and the disgusting immoral evil they are perpetrating!!!
The only way where vegans can get their complete nutrition is from supplement which is unnatural. Without supplement they ll die cos malnourishment. Diabetes,mental illness and heart disease for Vegans diet. Go eat grass fed raw meat,raw milk and raw eggs guarantee youl be healthier than those vegans.
Why do you people buy into this bullshit? You don't need to believe this false notion that humans are herbivores to justify being a vegan.
Love the mouth movements at the end. Both in tune 👍😀💚🌱
Wait,omnivores need big canines? Where are the “Big canines” of rats and squirrels?

Hi Mic! FANTASTIC VIDEO! Do you mind if I make a blog entry using the majority of the data you used? I'll cite this video of course :) Keep up the amazing work!!
+Vegan Vibes No problem at all. I'm am mostly taking the research of others anyway. What's your blog?
Thank you so much! I have a lot of FB friends who enjoy reading blogs so this its an efficient way to promote veganism. My blog is called PainlessEats (tagline: Painless for you and them).

+Vegan Vibes Awesome! I like it!
Aw, thank you very much-you're very kind! : )
Mic. the Vegan you are using flawed studies!!
fantastic!
Mike, our stomach acid ph is 1.5 - 3.5???
Nicely done man! I totally support your opinion!
The scientific and historical evidence doesn't.
4 WEEKS VEGAN BABY, GETTING MY FAMILY TO FALL IN LINE TOO
Good job bossman :) keep it goin!
so proud(:
I think this TH-camr uses scientific sources.
Can you link to other sources please?
I genuinely want opposing sources. I like to stock as much info as possible so I can make a sensible conclusion to things.
another well made informative video. well done. we need to share this channel to everyone else
+Jake Eames Ⓥ Look up omnivore.
bandwidthzero Wow you're trying an ad hom.
bandwidthzero I'm not gonna go after an idiot who can't understand biology.
bandwidthzero Appeal to nature fallacies? Lol yet again you're just being a fool. Come back when you've come to grasp biology.
bandwidthzero Woah no ned to get angry at facts.
I’m curious though for cats is it best if they eat a purely meat diet or a mix of meat and plants?
This video is lit, keep going
Just a quick question. You say at 5:22 the most dramatic difference between omnivore and herbivore is gut length v body length. Omnivores are 4-5 x body length. Herbivores are 10-12 x body length. At 8:55 you say the human small intestine is 23 foot long. The average height of a human is 5 - 6 foot. This would mean that to be an omnivore they would have a 20-30 foot long intestine.
If they were an herbivore, they would have a gut length of 50-72 foot long but they don't. Am I missing something?
+Essop Merrick thats only the small intestine
Yes. The long intestine is only about 5 foot long. 23 foot + 5 foot =28 foot. That is the length of an omnivores intestine. (20-30 foot) not 50-72 foot. The 'long' in long intestine is a misnomer and doesn't account for the other 27-49 ft it would need to be to belong to a herbivore. Unless vegans are claiming to have evolved an intestine of over twice the length of other humans.
+Essop Merrick The distinction here is that body length is not height. Body length is defined a shoulders to end of hips, or one's "trunk" length. Imagine measuring a dog, just like how you wouldn't count its legs (or tail) in body length, you don't count ours either.
+Mic. the Vegan And human trunk length is surprisingly small. Try measuring your own, likely around 2 feet.
+Mic. the Vegan Thanks for your reply.
I'm aware of what the torso length is (C7 to hip crest) but you say 'body length' which is defined in the dictionary as the length of the body.
'Body length' is height and is not generally defined as 'shoulders to end of hips' unless you're trying to re-define already established terms just for your channel, which you can do... but it tends to cause confusion. You mean torso length, which is fine.
I remember seeing you at MUM! Nice to see you making a positive effect via educating people on Veganism! Love your videos! Like a modern Dr.Greger :)
+Chiraj El Yes! How have you been? I am certainly partially inspired by Dr. Greger. Thanks for the kind words!
Mic I need your help debunking a video please
the pissed off non-vegans in the comments are hilarious... like i can't argue that we didn't evolve to *be able to* eat meat, but that doesn't change the fact that it's totally unnecessary for us to consume it? at certain points humans probably ate meat out of necessity if a varied herbivore diet wasn't available but... in our society we very much have the option of choosing to eat or not to eat certain foods lol
"able to eat meat".... No.We are obligate omnivores. B12 is a vital nutrient not available in a plant based diet. Herbivores are able to obtain B12 by way of fermentation of plant matter which is then either regurgitated or excreted from the anus to be chewed and swallowed for digestion. Just wanted to clarify that.
crakapakin pretty sure ppl can get b12 from dirt and stuff, like u only need a relatively small amt so probably no one got that deficiency back when things weren't obsessively washed and sanitized... but tbh even if that's not true, "u might get a deficiency if u don't take a supplement" is not a good argument against veganism in general
crakapakin then again, why am i wasting a moment of my time replying to downtown with a "people eating tasty animals" icon
animals get b12 from their food so if your eating animals your already supplementing b12, your filtering it through a dead body, id rather just take a cleaner supplement directly.
No, Jordan. Animals do not get their B12 from their food. If that were the case, humans could as well. But we can not because we are not herbivores. We require B12 from our diet alone whereas herbivores obtain B12 from their digestive function, which is not even comparable to human digestion. They are able to obtain B12 by way of fermentation. During fermentation, microbes synthesize and release B12. The plant material, containing B12 and many other nutrients, is either regurgitated or excreted from the anus to be chewed and swallowed for digestion. Ruminants such as cows, goats and some macropods (kangaroo and wallaby) regurgitate and chew cud. Hindgut fermenters, such as rabbits eat the cecotropes excreted from their anus.
Cats dont each much grass lol hahahaha
Also they don't eat it for sustenance
What about eating asa? What would you consider that?
excellent research
Hey Mic, love your videos! I got curious about the data on mortality in Norway during Nazi occupation: couldn’t people just be dying of other nazi related causes? I know it is deaths/10k population, but what if people are just dying of starvation before something else? Or simply dying on the battlefiels? Where does the chart come from? Is your conclusion sound? Cheers! :)
Of course they died of different causes. Starvation, freezing, repressions, executions itd. Also food shortage influenced their diet. I am certain that anybody during that time would pay a lot for some meat.

9:28 or you can drink fortified milks (like almond or rice milk)
Or drink raw kombucha tea. Or put your mushrooms out in the sun for a couple hours. Nature has been doing this a lot longer than capitalists.
Why fortified? Why supplements?
What's the name of the people you mentioned as the healthiest?
Okinawans
thank you so much, we should all share this with everyone we know
GO HERBIVORE!
When I'm watching your videos I have the feeling that my youtube runs them at 1.5x speed.
But great stuff nonetheless!
What do you say to Michael Pollan who says we essentially became human and our brains became larger from figuring out how to make fire and cook meat with it? Just saw it on his Netflix documentary called Cooked and was just curious to see if you agree/diagree?
also isnt Okinawam diet high on sea food ?
Man, I just found your channel and you literally have every video I've been longing an answer for since becoming vegan!
+thaik56 Awesome! Always nice to see a new face.
