Yet, Inuit have eaten almost exclusively meat for over one thousand years. So, it would seem that their bodies have evolved to, not only live on that diet, but to thrive on it, in an extremely harsh environment. It would also seem that humans lived on meat, in northern Europe and Asia for 30,000 years. Over the harsh winters of the Ice Age, meat would have been the only food source for long periods of time. They were able to live on it because their ancestors, coming from Africa, had also lived on meat, through hunting and scavenging. This has been going on for millions of years. No matter how you spin it, we've adapted to living on a omnivorous diet and it has become a legacy that goes back into the deepest recesses of human history. As a matter of fact, there is a lot of evidence to suggest that human tool building started as a method to more easily access bone marrow and developed to more easily cut meat away from the bone. Also, had humans not used the skins of their prey, they'd never have settled in the northerly regions of the planet. It's a direct result of hunting animals for food and adapting the skins of the carcasses for warmth.
If eating meat is bad for you, we'd have died off, as a species, a long time ago.

Yet, every civilisation, every tribe, in every part of the world had their version of the "sky fairy". Why is that? Can you explain it? Can ANYONE fully explain it.
Also, it's very easy to claim that religion caused most of the world's conflicts. Every tribe, group, country, what have you, had religious beliefs. If they went to war, they called on their gods to help them. Does that mean that the belief in those gods was the cause of the war? Or is it just human conflict, the need for better hunting, fishing or agricultural lands because they're starving. Maybe they wanted the riches of their opponents. Maybe they wanted women because they'd just been decimated by disease or hunger and they had to rebuild their numbers.
Primatologist, Jane Goodall, was shocked to be a witness to a group of chimpanzees crossing their boundary into the land of another troupe of chimps and slaughtering every one of them. Was that religion, too? Chimps aren't even capable of that kind of thought, yet they acted just like humans, invading the lands of others, slaughtering them and assuming control of that land. How is that even possible?
People go to war and give all kinds of reasons but what is the real reason behind it? I think that "religion caused it" is a very weak argument to explain the human condition. It's also another way to assign a moral superiority to oneself. "I'm the advanced one. Better than THOSE guys" We have to look deeper into why we behave the way that we do.
