Once your body recognizes that it has ingested a virus, toxin or poison it will expel it by inducing vomiting. Unfortunately, it takes a while for it to tell, so it keeps vomiting even when the stomach is empty (the toxin is in the blood by then). Alcohol is a great example of a toxin that is absorbed in great quantities before inducing vomiting. But you can short cut this by "thinking" something might contain toxins by thinking its really gross and throwing it up sooner, before a lot is absorbed.

Well they have enzymes, and special bacteria ... as well as multiple stomachs and have to rechew their food over and over after its been in this stomachs. AND if we had that ability, we'd have no fiber in our diets, which would lead to high cholesterol and high rates of colon cancer.

Besides, do you want to be chewing 13 hours a day?

They eat a lot of calories. Herbivores have enzymes that let them digest "insoluble fiber" aka cellulose, aka plant fiber. They get a lot more nutrition from plants than humans. These enzymes break open the plant cells, giving them access to proteins and fats not available to us. Plus they never stop eating.
