Your socially progressive ways might turn you psychologically into a vegetarian/vegan. But all the biophysical evidence points to humans having been, and continuing to be, omnivores.

True. But when it's used to justify what we
ought to continue to do, it's illogical. I'm just explaining that what is "natural" and what we have evolved to be capable of doing are never solid arguments for what should be. That's why I also don't ever cite the "school" of thought which argues that humans have teeth more like herbivores - I'm pretty sure these folk are out there. It's just not a good reason to go vegan. Trust me there are enough good reasons to do it without quoting pseudo-science.
