YouTube - WHAT IF...We could redesign human teeth to encourage vegetarianism?
Vegetarian Tooth, 2007 by Susana Soares
Recent research into the effects of eating meat on global warming estimated that meat production accounts for nearly a fifth of gas emissions. Recently the UN appealed for a radical shift in diet, arguing that it wouldn't only be good for our health, but for the planet in general. Teeth are an essential tool for nutrition - their shape is related to diet. Herbivore animals, for example, have developed teeth that reflect their feeding preferences and facilitate the consumption of plant material. Could our teeth structure be replaced to encourage a more sustainable dietary shift?

The only solution to solve the global climate change problem is to BE VEGAN to save the planet. The livestock industry is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. We should do away with the livestock industry and plant organics crops that will also solve world hunger and global health problems (cancer, diabetes, heart diseases, obesity). The teeth of human beings reflect those of herbivores. It is a win-win situation for the world to go vegan. http://www.worldwatch.org/node/6294
how was the planet able to survive for billions of years with all those animals roaming it and emitting methane? why would having animals as cattle make any difference?
