If you understand about the natural world, we're a part of the system and you can't feed lions grass. But because we have the intelligence to choose... But we haven't got the gut to allow us to be totally vegetarian for a start. You can tell by the shape of our guts and the shape of our teeth that we evolved to be omnivores. We aren't carnivores like lions but neither are we elephants. (David Attenborough)
