H for Health
Are humans created as meat-eaters or plant-eaters? And what are humans meant to eat for optimal health?
Plant eaters are called herbivores and meat eaters are called carnivores.
Numerous international studies have shown that whole-food plant-based diets provide the optimal foods for humans, minimizing chronic diseases and maximizing health, longevity and vitality.
Yet, some people argue that humans historically ate animal products. Therefore, animal products must be necessary and healthy in a human diet. However, we have been evolving for millions of years. We split off from our last great ape ancestor about 20 million years ago. For the first 90 percent of our time on Earth, we ate what the rest of the great apes were eating: A diet made up of more than 95 percent plants.
