Both of those animals have a fermentation based digestive system so they can digest fiber that humans can't.
I'll take the diet and strength of a wolf or bear, thanks.
Some humans still have the ability, but most have lost it. It depends on you microbiome. But we still don't have to consume meat, not in this day and age, and with our supermarkets and online recipes.
> I'll take the diet and strength of a wolf
"Wolves are known to scavenge and consume dead or rotten meat when they come across it. Wolves have a remarkable ability to tolerate and digest decaying flesh. Scavenging on carcasses can be an important source of food for wolves, especially during times when hunting is challenging or prey is scarce."
I'd like to see it ... please find some friends, and without weapons hunt and with your teeth and nails take down an elk or something. Then eat it raw.
And if you're not successfull, find some carcass and enjoy ! Remember to start from the anus, where it's easier to tear.
Cannot edit. I was thinking of insoluble fiber, but cannot find the source.
We can digest soluble fiber. Insoluble fiber we cannot digest, but we need it anyway.
This is a really silly comparison, to compare humans to animals with different genetics, digestion traits and hormones. Male gorillas have MASSIVE amounts of testosterone and minimal myostatin. Their body doesn’t break down muscle. Humans are not like this at all, and if you disagree then please show me a vegetarian body builder, or even vegetarian elite strength athletes.

And ultra-running is much more cool than body building ;p
But if you insist.

This argument is absurd.
