And what about the argument that it depends on your history?? I find the "blood type" book interesting. I'd like to see some genomic power look into all that.

There is absolutely no doubt that we have been carnivores by choice for a very long time (omnivores by necessity). What's more, I believe the evidence is clear that cannibalism was the norm until recently.

We evolved on meat!

6 million years ago all of Africa was a jungle. 5 million years ago it started to dry out and large grasslands were created. Grasslands are 100 times more nourishing than jungles and large herds of grazing animals evolved.

We came out of the trees and lived on the edge of the jungle/savanna. We started eating lots of meat. We stole some, we killed some and mainly I think we ate the marrow inside the bones other animals could not get at. We cracked them open with rocks. Very rich food source.

Two things happened. We lost our bellies and our brains doubled in size! We also stood upright, before we could speak. Maybe so we could see the lions. Those who could not see the lions had their genes die our quickly-lol.

We were about 6 feet tall and we remained like this for the next two million years.
