Gorillas are vegan and they have a ton of muscle.

sshine|1 year ago

Only humans are vegan.

Few gorillas were seen distributing pamphlets and letting their local community know of their superior dietary philosophy.

Animals are classified as herbivores, omnivores, or carnivores.

Gorillas are omnivores with a predominantly plant-based diet.

Can gorillas become vegan?

Good question.

Gorillas are not vegan, they eat a significant amount insects. They also opportunistically eat small (vertibrate) animals. They also eat a whole lot more than humans.

Yeah, but gorillas have a different digestive system to humans.

FUD. Vegan food also has protein.

dp-hackernews|1 year ago

All protein derived from veggies are considered incomplete when compared to animal derived protein, which also require substantially more volume to obtain the same nutritional content.

You only need to look at the amount of waste (feces) between a veggie based diet and an animal based diet - the difference is staggeringly different.

I.e. far less waste is produced, because far less is required when eating animal based foods.
