We aren't really "made to eat meat" though. Humans have evolved to be omnivores because it is the most efficient way to get the nutrients that our bodies need. With a varied diet, we can get all of the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that we need from the food we eat. That may or may not include meat, and in a modern society you can easily get by without ever eating meat, from a pure nutritional standpoint.
- blamestross 4y agoWe very much are "made to be able to eat meat". I will point out that long term vegetarians often have trouble when they eat meat (by accident or intent) because the population gut flora don't support it anymore. I'd argue maintain the capacity is of intrinsic value because `modern society` is not something I take for granted in the long term, but I'm a crazy doom-saying prepper so feel free to disregard my concerns.
