- It's an adaptation, genius. If you eat poisoned food and you can't vomit, you're dead. If you eat poisoned food, your body catches it and forces you to vomit, then you're more likely to live. It's not foolproof by any means, but it's better than nothing. Incidentally, this is also why seeing others vomit makes us nauseous. Barikada 20:43, 10 March 2008 (EDT)
