Just to add on canine teeth, it's only a name for long pointed tooth. Gorilas, arguably one of our closest relatives is classed as a vegetarian (96%) and is 8-12 times stronger than a human, rarely, if ever, eats meat, the animal protein (B12) it gets comes from a certain ant that it eats and fecal matter left on leaves, it can eat meat if it has to but doesnt need it. Dogs and other carnivores use their canines mainly for fighting or defence and also for tearing flesh but as a rule, canine teeth doesn't mean you are exclusively a flesh eater. 

Yes, some people justify eating a lot of meat because we have canines, but that has absolutely nothing to do with it. The most important food as we age (even during our lifetime) is fibre, meat has zero. Every protein you need is in veg and fruit, you don't need animal (fat) protein, it probly worked out ok for the caveman, they had to run miles to catch their prey and could'nt just head to the butchers for their steak. Basically, people eat to much meat/animal fats nowadays because it's easy...so is the lounge chair.  :)

musicveg, very true, but washing your veg can rid some of the pesticides, there are many products now with fortified b12 around or just take a supplement. I subscribe to nutritionfacts.org, Dr Greger, a free site with a ton of reserched articals and archives, he does not bow to big pharma, the egg, meat, sugar board. Great information. 

Lothario, your avatar reminds me of a Bagdad strip club I went to once, people were yelling 'show us your face'.  :)
