"In conclusion, we see that human beings have the gastrointestinal tract structure of a "committed" herbivore. Humankind does not show the mixed structural features one expects and finds in anatomical omnivores such as bears and raccoons. Thus, from comparing the gastrointestinal tract of humans to that of carnivores, herbivores and omnivores we must conclude that humankind's GI tract is designed for a purely plant-food diet."

I wish I wasn't raised as an omnivore, trying to not eat meat after having it in my diet for 20+ years is proving to be quite difficult. =/

Well first, is to get rid of cooked meat that I consume, then slowly work on the raw.

Step by step is the way to go.
