I can adapt to drinking 3 cups of coffee each morning and I'd feel pretty bad if I didn't get any coffee, but that doesn't make it healthy and it doesn't mean I've naturally evolved to drinking coffee.
Well, I don't know about some people, but I eat very healthily, and, therefore, when I tried being vegetarian and vegan, I tried many combinations of foods- high carb, low carb, no carb, always with lots of fruit and vegetables- which I still now eat in a high proportion alongside meat.

If you didn't have your coffee, you would get withdrawal symptoms and then feel better. That didn't happen when I removed meat from my diet.

You cannot possibly argue with someone over their own diet which they have thoroughly empirically investigated to find the one that makes them feel the best. I'm not telling you to eat meat because maybe you don't feel good when you eat it, only pointing out that there is not, and can never be, one rule for everyone, particularly when it comes to diet.
