You say humans aren't made to digest meat,yet you forget that humans weren't made to digest plants at peak efficiency either.
We are much more efficient at eating plants though.
It suggests that we evolved an ability to eat meat, so that we could survive when vegetation is scarce. It's a safety.YOU STILL HAVN"T PROVIDED ANY SORT OF PROOF THAT WE ARE MORE EFFICIENT AT EATING PLANTS
