Why do vegans say humans are herbivores?

If we're herbivores how do we get b12? B12 is not found in plants. And why do we have stomach acid that secrets protease?

I had a nightmare about people becoming cannibals and cooking human flesh on a barbecue. I wrote about it on another website and this person from India said it was because I ate meat and had a “blood-lust”...was basically pushing cannibalism. Then the subject of Veganism came up later and the same person started cussing out people who said they wouldn’t give up meat & to stop telling them what to eat. Then they send me a message about drinking cow urine as a healing thing. Someone else mentioned “Well cow urine comes from a cow, do they think that it is Vegan?”...😂🤣😂

Actually the funny part about herbivore, by definition herbivores are called omnivorous herbivores. Meaning even herbivores like monkeys will eat insects and other monkeys. All herbivores will eat meat occasionally, there's no such thing as a 100% herbivore. Herbivore means a large bulk are plants but doesn't mean it is 100% all plants.

They don't say humans are herbivores. They say that we can choose to be herbivores and live a healthy, ethical life as a result.

They ain't wrong, even though I happily eat meat.

why do meat eaters always ask this silly question? I have been vegetarian since 1970 and eat very little dairy. I take a B12 supplement every day and get much from Spirulina and other sources, Barley grass, nutritional yeast is loaded with it.. Meat is not the only way to get it. Humans do NOT NEED meat and other flesh to be healthy

@bijouxbroussard Exactly right. Grains, beans, legumes and there are many healthy meat substitutes out there now.
@Fernie I still see it as a personal choice.

@bijouxbroussard Of course it is

black people are not herbivores, veganism is not for black people, try the blood type diet, people with O blood shouldnt be vegan.

Yeah... I'm looking at my strawberry banana Body Armor (sports drink) that has 100% daily value of vitamin B12 and absolutely 0 meat or meat product... and I can't help but doubt your science....

@ForeverGrowingOld Not all humans are herbivores
ForeverGrowingOld · 22-25, F
@Victorian I agree. I enjoy eating meat... Just saying tho
@ForeverGrowingOld B12 can be synthetically produced, but its natural source is in meat products, and it’s not naturally found in plants.

I don't know where they got their "information"...humans have never been herbivores and nor have they been carnivores. Humans are omnivorous and always have been, our ancestors all the way back to prehistoric times were gatherers and hunters.

It's fascinating that this subject very often gets as heated as a religious or political conversation
[b]They[/b] are herbivores by choice. But if humans weren’t omnivores, would we have the means to chew and digest both meat and plants ? Do other animals who [b]are[/b] strictly herbivores ?

They have to take supplements
