Proud Omnivory

If you consider that gut length is proportional to the amount of digestion needed to procure energy from your food source, then I can only say thank Darwin we're not herbivores. It's already about 7 metres now, if we were made to be vegetarians, it would have to be about 14. And you think you feel full after a hearty meal _now_. :)
