Sharp Tooth


I realized something today while eating an orange. It would be really awful to be a carnivore. Why? Well, besides the obvious reason of NOT being able to eat oranges, there is one simple fact that is, quite frankly, a deal breaker: canines. All of your teeth are canines! Okay, yeah, it sounds cool, having this mouth full of knives, but thinking about it doesn't get you very far. You need to actually try eating food with your canines. This thought came to me when I realized that I only eat out of one side of my mouth. So instead I moved to the other side of my mouth, and was reminded why I ate on the original side in the first place. It kinda hurt my teeth to eat on that side, so I moved back, only to find that it also hurt on that side, though significantly less. So the idea struck me that I should go all Wild Cat and move to the front of my mouth, where none of my teeth hurt. Well... this just failed. I can't properly break down food in that position. Therefore, I am happy to be an omnivore.
