Here it is...
We are designed to be 'able' to eat meat. We are not designed to eat meat in the quantities that we do. Our whole body is not designed to process meat at the level the average person consumes it - i.e: every day. That's why meat sticks in the gut for so long.
This black / white arguement is just ignaorance on both sides I'm afraid and I agree that it's usually meat eaters that feel the need to populate threads with such hilarity as - 'yea bro, I eat MEAT!'. Odd.
There have been quite a few studies / some spanning decades that say Vegetarians can expect a longer life expectancy. Some have suggested that this is not just down to diet but also the vegetarians likely socio-economic status - i.e: they can afford to take more care of themselves. In any case, eating meat is not necessary; in fact, it's attributed to higher rates of cancer and diabetes among other things.
What has happened is that, gluttony has taken over and where we have evolved as a species; to eat meat every so often, we actually meat every day and as part of every meal. It is not ideal and the intensive farming needed to feed our species, especially in the west - is not natural in any sense of the word.
Anyway, that's my balanced take on it.
