I wouldn't be too sure about that.

Every measurable taxonomy matches humans with herbivores, not omnivores.
I've found at least two other articles that contradict that. I'll link to them, but I don't want to fill up this thread with semi-off-topic quotes:

Comparative Anatomy Updated. Humans--Omnivores or Vegetarians?
Humans are Omnivores -- The Vegetarian Resource Group(written by a vegetarian)

I'll delve into this deeper when I have more time. I will ask this if anyone is willing to respond:
What about B12?

You can't live without it. It is only found, in significant quantities, in animal products. Anyways, it's very unlikely someone is going to change my mind about the ideal diet being the one we are adapted to eat. Does that include meat? I think so, but if I found evidence to the contrary, I would definitely go vegan.
