lions and tigers are carnivores, not omnivores. If you force a cat to eat a vegetarian diet it will be plagued with urinary tract infections because its body wasn't designed for anything other than meat. Bad point.

We are omnivores. We are designed to adapt to our environments. The current obesity rate is showing that through unwillingness to adapt to the current environment people are destroying their health. In the wild you eat whatever is edible to survive. Here we have such an excess of food its wise to only eat what has the best quality nutrients. That isn't meat. I consider it gluttonous to eat meat when I'm perfectly happy with the alternatives.

Mind you I don't have a grudge against meat eaters, however I do however get really disgusted when I see a morbidly obese person eating a portion size of meat that is clearly over their daily needs.

 

So why aren't you annoyed about us killing off plants if we eat too many of those? They are still living, carbon-based, life forms.
