All relevant anatomical traits suggest that humans are classical examples of omnivores. There is simply no basis in anatomy or physiology for the assumption that humans are pre-adapted to a purely vegetarian diet. For that reason, the best arguments in support of a meat-free diet will remain to be ecological, ethical, and health concerns.

Our biological make up is between that of vegetarian animals like cows and that of purely meat eating species like cats and dogs. In other words: we get to choose.
