why o why isn't it? :) neanderthals did it when it was pretty much just instinct-based. Sure, they did it, don't think they thought that much about why, humans have digestive systems that can break down allmost anything (except grass etc.).
If your body is capable to eat a certain thing (wo. throwing up.. like with grass i.e.) why wouldn't it be called natural? (since our ancestors waaaaaay back ate meat too)
just got stuck on that one line and got interested to hear your thoughts why :) 'cause thats ilogical thinking' /slander /callingNames /rude
and all that.. :P

Our teeth aren't capable to rip through the flesh of other animals. We have one set of canines. And even those are incredibly dull. They don't reach downward like the teeth of other predators either. If you think that one set of dull teeth gives us the capability to rip through flesh, then that's your personal choice really.
We can't eat rotted meat like other predators. Other predators have digestive systems which allow them to kill the bacteria that forms on rotten meat. On the other hand, if a human eats rotten meat, he'll probably get sick or die. We have to apply flames to food to avoid illness because our bodies just can't handle it.
Most predators are incredibly agile, strong, and fast, in order to catch their predators. Humans, on the other hand, are one of the slowest, weakest animals to have ever existed. Our bodies aren't equipped to catch other animals.
Predators tend to have night vision. Humans don't.
The leading cause of death in America is heart disease, which is usually caused by excessive fat which is usually from meat.
all of this of course isn't conclusive evidence, but it does lend me to believe that its not natural for humans to eat meat, at least not a lot of meat. It was probably natural for us to eat an occasional insect or rodent, but plants were really meant to be the vast majority of our diet imo.
1. We have one set of canines because we are omnivores. If we weren't meant to eat meat at all then we would have flat teeth all around. If we were meant to eat strictly meat then yes we would fail.
2. we can't eat rotten fruit or veggies either.
3. If we aren't equipped to catch other animals how come we do it so well?
4. The leading cause of death in america is heart disease... from eating meat... this sentence... first of all heart disease happens from other sources than meat. Secondly most heart disease is from a bad diet... which yes, consists of eating meat but it is so much more than that... it is the over consumption of meat and having meat be the focal point of the diet. If more people ate less meat and more fruits and veggies like reccommended then that number would reduce drastically... But meat can still be a part of a healthy diet. Even if Americans cut meat out entirely we would still have massive heart disease due to poor diet. Deep frying is not healthy for anyone. Anyway, just look all around America, everywhere you look you see burger joints that serve strictly meat. If these joints reduced the size of their burgers and gave a side of fresh fruit or veggies instead of deep fried potatos heart disease would drop.
Edit: no way my post formatted like that.
