Our bodies are made to digest meat that's why meat has been a major part of human's diet for thousands of years. We can actually eat raw meat. Look up chicken or beef tartare. Another proof that we naturally need meat is that our bodies don't produce vitamin b12 and we can only get it naturally from animal products. Nobody is saying we are carnivores, we are omnivores. We are also not frugivores since fruit is a smaller portion of most peoples diet. A study done by the Sax Institute found that "following extensive adjustment for potential confounding factors there was no significant difference in all-cause mortality for vegetarians versus non-vegetarians" and another study done in the united kingdom found that "United Kingdom–based vegetarians and comparable nonvegetarians have similar all-cause mortality."
Here are the URLs to the studies if you want to read.

lol i’ve been a vegetarian for like four years, never had to take any b12 supplements and the doctor says i am not deficient in any area. if humans need meat, vegans and vegetarians wouldn’t live longer than meat eaters (statistically) and you guys wouldn’t be getting heart disease (statistically you guys are at a much higher risk than us). also i’m aware that you guys on here weren’t calling yourselves carnivores but i know many meat eaters who address themselves that way. and again, i meant OMNIVOROUS FRUGIVORE LIKE CHIMPANZEES WHICH ARE OUR MOST CLOSELY RELATED SPECIES. Lol bye
Is it normal to conclude that man wasn't made for eating animal foods?
