Do you think you would die or be unhealthy if you stopped eating meat and other animal products? If that's what you think then say that so someone has the opportunity to rebut you.
Because it's unclear what you're trying to imply by saying "we're omnivorous".
"omnivorous" but we need to cook the meat before eating... I think we started to eat meat to survive, we were basically vegan/vegetarians... I'm neither an expert but is what I understood from documentals and others sources.
Also, I think the country that eats more meat in this world also has the most ratio of fat people in the population.
It's the sugar and (to a slightly lesser extent) carbs combined with a lifestyle that presses us into eating quick processed low quality food while not being conducive to exercise that makes Americans fat.
Sashimi exists.
And that’s probably not the only example.
Steak tartar is another easy one. There are a lot more, including the fact that rare steak is basically uncooked inside, just warmed up.
I am curious, can you please offer your rebuttal on how a vegan diet can be as healthy as a balanced low processed food omnivore diet.
