Veggies are more photogenic than meat

In the animal kingdom, most animals are either harbivorous (eat

veggies) or carnivorous (eat meat). There are very few animals or

birds which are omnivorous (eat both meat and veggies) and human

being is the most notable example such rare species in animal

kingdom. This has led to a theory that originally human species must

have been either harbivorous or carnivours, but not omnivorous.

There are theories supporting either way i.e. those supporting human

beings were originally harbivorous and those supporting that we were

carnivorous. The supporters of the fact that human beings were

originally harbivorous cite the Darwinian theory that human beings

evolved from apes (and most apes are veggies, as we know), the fact

that human beings cannot run fast unlike the carnivores who have to

catch their prey, etc. The supporters of the fact that human beings

were orginally carnivores cite cases like smaller length of

intestine of human beings, our remnance of canine teeth and the fact

that our eyes are in front of our faces like carnivores who have to

see the prey in front (vis-a-vis the harbovores who have the eyes on

the sides of their faces which enable them to see whether any

carnivore is attacking them from the back), etc Of course, some

religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism support vegetarianism and

these days many celebraties are promoting vegetarianism which

promotes them as well as the cause they stand for. Whatever be the

conclusion about human race's original food habits, there is

absolutely no doubt about one conclusion. That, veggies are more

photogenic than meat. I have seen far more beautiful photos of

veggies and most photos of meat show some gory sight or incident. I

am not sure whether that makes vegeterian people more photogenic

than non vegeterian people. By the way, I am personally a die hard

non-veggie in my food habit :)

Well, I don't have to be a veggie to be atttracted to this fruit! It is superbly lit and photographed and it would make anyone's mouth water.

I guess you are right. There are other arguments too such as lateral movement of the jaws to grind the food in herbivores which is absent in carnivores, and the absence of digestive enzymes in the saliva of meat eaters which is present in us humans. Carnivores also swallow their food and cope with it in the stomach, we don't have enough acidity to do the work without pre-digestion. I don't think our ancestors had time either to sit down and cook a meal everytime they caught their prey, before becoming one themselves. No, I think that our carnivorous tastes have evolved alongside with our capacity to be aggressive and destructive of each other and our surroundings.
