zamuel42 said:Good post shag, I knew that too. We have a very long vegitarian digestive tract. apes are generally vegitarians and they are 7sih times stronger than us, without lifting weights.
Apes eat meat, including thier own species and children and other unfortunate monkeys. They have been filmed hunting as group, which they have been shown to be skilled at. This supplements their diet as they are omnivores like humans. They also fight and kill other tribes just like humans, so they are not what the idiot hippies portray them as when they waffle on. The main reasons they are stronger is due to their design at birth (a tiger will always be stronger than a field mouse) and the excercise they do augments this, such as lifting the weight of their own body and climbing repeatedly as part of normal daily life. Claiming that they don't "lift weights" is deliberately misleading as they do not tone their muscles by sitting on their ass eating lentils, they exercise more than you ever will. Blacksmiths developed tremendous strength in the old days as part of their daily life due to their job and had no need to visit a health spa or "lift weights" as you would claim. Same goes for many professions involving a lot of manual labor. Slugs don't become super powerful on a vegetarian diet any more than wolves do thanks to their diet of meat. It is all part of the design of them and what they can and need to digest to remain healthy. Lions and tigers are strong and they are hardly noted for eating tofu and cabbage. Stop lying.
