Nutrient density is the story here. Meat eating turned us from perpetually foraging animals into people with the nutrient density necessary to evolve advanced features, like a big brain, which precipitated advanced civilization and, the one thing virtually unknown in the lower animal world, leisure. Leaving entirely aside the dubious WHO data, I'd have to say the trade-off favors meat eating. A little "extra" risk in exchange for modern civilization is a WIN, compared to the prospect of foraging continuously--that's not risk-free, either. Vegans are ideological fanatics. Too much meat is a bad idea, but not as bad as NONE--that'll kill ya...or you'll WISH you were dead...
