You can tell he has delivered that speech a million times. He literally said all of that in one breath.

[quarantinethehumans]

Wow, that response was awesome. I'm going to steal that and use it as my own.

It's mine now.

I am not a vegan, but he got her stuttering 😂😂😂

We are not herbivores. We don’t have the enzymes to break down cellulose. We are just taking all the other vitamins and minerals. We cannot digest leaves. So how can we be herbivorous.

[simonderloshon]

Doesn’t shock me to see that Caillou grew up to become a vegan☠️

[leandrusi]

Why does it taste so good though?
I dont think herbivores would like the taste of meat

[Thetileguy]

We’ll let’s ignore the fact that you are not starving … let’s pretend several days without food and you see a fluffy white bunny stuck on a bush what you do ?

[OriginalWhiteDevil]

He is correct. Physiologically, human beings are built closer to herbivores than carnivores. Particularly noticeable in how the stomach, teeth and jaw are constructed.

[ronmiller]

This man is 100% correct. Always cook your meat properly.

[YogaRealizing]

Hinduism is all about being vegan and not harming any life on the planet.

[MRcc]

The thing I like meat but I do feel very bad for eating meat and we should try at least stop the abuse of animals and factory farms

[SgNoNBANA]

We need protein, and i wont fart because of eating nuts too much.

[PBLCDMND]

Gary... please don't get confused. Humans are omnivore and the only reason we developed to this today is: eating meat.
Proven science.
You can choose today, that is great. But we are not herbivore by nature.

[XJacktheripperX]

Let the 3 year old have an apple and a roasted turkey… let me know when the child eats the apple and plays with the roasted turkey… we humans have adapted to eating cooked meat cuz we have trouble digesting raw meat and it harms our immune system just same way as eating raw grass would do. Humans r omnivores. There are limitations to what our body can digest. Just say within the boundaries and gather all the nutrients u need and ull be fine.

[JoeMoss]

Was doing great until he said humans are strictly herbivore

[Nrzpokrter]

A way to miss the entire fucking topic. And no, we are not herbivores, we are omnivores.

[namelessking-lh]

meat eaters are super triggered in the comment section by truth and reality.

OshO on Vegetarianism 🌿

The idea of vegetarianism is of immense value; it is based on great reverence for life.

The modern mind can understand it far better now we know that all forms of life are interrelated, interdependent. Man is not an island: man exists in an infinite web of millions of forms of life and existence. We exist in a chain, we are not separate. And to destroy other animals is not only ugly, unaesthetic, inhuman – it is also unscientific. We are destroying our own foundation.

Life exists as one organic unity. Man can exist only as part of this orchestra. Just think of man without birds and without animals and without fish – that life will be very very boring; it will lose all complexity, variety, richness, colour. The forests will be utterly empty, the cuckoo will not call, and the birds will not fly, and the water will look very sad without the fish.

Life in its infinite forms exists as one organic unity. We are part of it: the part should feel reverence for the whole. That is the idea of vegetarianism. It simply means: don’t destroy life. It simply means:
life is God – avoid destroying it, otherwise you will be destroying the very ecology.

And it has something very scientific behind it. It was not an accident that all the religions that were born in India are basically vegetarian, and all the religions that were born outside India are nonvegetarian. But the highest peaks of religious consciousness were known in India and nowhere else.

Vegetarianism functioned as a purification. When you eat animals you are more under the law of necessity. You are heavy, you gravitate more towards the earth. When you are a vegetarian you are light and you are more under the law of grace, under the law of power, and you start gravitating towards the sky.

Your food is not just food: it is you. What you eat, you become. If you eat something which is fundamentally based on murder, on violence, you cannot rise above the law of necessity. You will remain more or less an animal. The human is born when you start moving above the animals, when you start doing something to yourself which no animal can do.

Too true. Children don't have the instinct to kill and eat an animal, but they have the instinct to pick cherries from the trees and eat them.

[johnedwards]

Herbivores shit on the ground, Gary. Do you do that?
