I don't follow. Humans are omnivorous - we have teeth
that allow multiple tasks - our teeth can tear, bite,
crush, slice, grind - seems an almost endless list. Of
course our teeth would not be exactly like a
carnivore's teeth. But our teeth are still more
similar to the carnivore's than they are to a true
herbivore.

The chart was designed to illustrate the difference
between a grain eater and a meat eater. We fall
somewhere between the gorilla and the cat.
Similarities to both.

We grind because we do not have the highly caustic
stomach acid the dog does. We masticate, the dog gulps
(mostly). However, I do have a Cocker Spaniel who like
to "savor" his food (I know, he's weird), so he chews
much more like a human than a dog (like I said - he's
weird). My Springer, on the other hand, gets his food
"out of the way" so he can concentrate on play.
