Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

People eat a lot of stuff when they are hungry that isn't healthy.

But if we had been eating it since before we were human, we evolved to eat it. It was selected for.

I mean I wouldn't want anyone to eat a lion now, but that's a different story.

If we can't eat it raw then I'd argue we didn't evolve to eat it

Why? Hominids used fire to cook food long before Homo Sapiens evolved.

Edit: I think the issue a lot of people have with saying that we evolved to be able to do something means that we still have to do it. We evolved to eat meat. We can survive just fine on a plant-based diet now that we've domesticated the right crops, so it's no longer necessary. There hasn't been near enough time to evolve into herbivores, if that's the eventual path we go on, but we can be herbivores if we choose. Which is one of the amazing things about being human- we can defy evolution.
