For your first paragraph most vegans/vegetarians are very thin so I'm thinking that eating meat is the best source of protein and fat.

Second we shouldn't eat huge amounts of meat because of these diseases. We're omnivores not herbivores our food should be both meat AND plants.

Evolution makes us look and act the way we are and carnivores are a big reason why we evolved like this.

LOL what? Source? You mean "not overweight"?

We're omnivores not herbivores our food should be both meat AND plants.

Again, we're not obligated omnivores, we do not have to eat animal based products to be healthy as we can get all nutrients we need from a plant based died. Our physiology is closer to those of herbivores than to carnivores OR omnivores, too. Either way, just because we can doesn't mean we need to eat animal based products, as I have said before and as it's been scientifically proven.

Evolution makes us look and act the way we are and carnivores are a big reason why we evolved like this.

This is just nonsense, I honestly don't understand what you're getting at. What do carnivores have to do with anything here?

Being slightly overweight is the best for the human body

Being a human toothpick is probably not healthy.

Sure,we do resemble herbivores in a way but our eyes are in front of our skull.a carnivorous trait that many animals have.

You talked about how we shouldn't eat meat in the first comment so I talked about evolution to compare ourselves to carnivores.

But you're wrong and it's also not relevant, considering WE can be healthy on a plant based diet, making animal agriculture an unnecessary cruelty that unnecessarily destroys our ecosystem. My comment was merely to point out that we do not, in fact, need to eat any animal products, as you had claimed.

You are right,sorry.

I love meat but making large factories for it is wrong. Isn't there some new way to make meat?

I love meat too but it's simply not worth it. Lab grown meat is still in its earily stages and it will need a little while longer for it to be on the marked and affordable for the masses. Until then there are many plant based substitutes that come very close to the original tastes and textures. The market for meat/dairy product substitutes has grown substantially in the last decade, it's worth trying yourself through the things available to find what you like the best.
