Why have I got canines if I wasn't designed to eat meat?

In fairness, Gorillas have canines too and they aren't for eating meat for for aggressive display.

A better argument is why do we have cutting teeth such as the premolars or bicuspids, (which have properties of both canines and molars in their function of tearing meat and chewing cud) if we are not meant to be omnivores, especially as we have eight of them.

If we don't specialise too much on food groups that gives us an evolutionary advantage not being narrowed to narrow food groups that can be in short supply.

It's precisely why the human has evolved to the advanced state it is. Some might make the arguement as to whether eating meat is still 'necessary' in a modern world given the variety of diets accessible to us, but for those to deny that meat eating and it's importance to our development as a species was never important or essential is being wholly disingenous about how the Homo Sapiens Sapiens evolved.
 
I said to a vegetarian the other day -
"Is it on humane grounds"
"Yes it is"
"Are plants and vegetables not living then"
"Uhh"
"Well the carrots weren't dead when you picked them. They still had a life to lead"
"Fuck off, nob head"

It's worse than discussing football with rags

Probably because that is a load of bollocks and we have heard the carrot thing a million times
