and 'our' average diet. Carnivores typically have much less of it (per size, weight) than homo-sap. We were designed for vegetable matter as largest part of diet - though we are omnivores merely because we ARE so adaptable. But in 'adapting' - we have invented a raft of modern gut 'diseases' too.
(Check out the relative lengths of intestines in other animals, and their diets.) You can remove some if you must: wouldn't it be simpler to eat the way the guts were designed? (Yes I Know: habits are er quite habitual.)
