Yes.

You proven liar, dogs are omnivores; cats are carnivores. And bones
and marrow are a meat, so your blurb is irrelevant.

This one suffers from my later comment about fat and milk. Go away
whither you get a brain. I don't uphold Atkins's diet either.

Then why don't some humans eat fruits? Are they not humans, retard?
Humans are omnivorous.

Worts would be more digestible if we still had wisdom teeth and
appendix, but we don't. We moved on from ruminants.

Stomach acid is good for killing germs; it's part of immunity to
botulism and the ilk.

Humans not having ready fangs or spades must deal with less and fewer

Putrefaction is done away with by drinking less to have greater acid.
Of course, one needn't eat as much flesh as worts to get the same
nutrition, so gutly backup happens in the overgrown. Inner germs wreak
many cancers; kill them early and most will be fine.

Saturated fat is good:

The health problems most have happen in the poor, who thrive on cheap
starches and fats (oils in this case). There are pricier but better
choices in both the fleshly and wortly.

The many is "fleshes", dolt.
