IMHO, vegetarian food is a lot easier to swallow than vegetarian philosophy. We, like the other great apes, do not exclusively specialize either in carnivory or herbivory. Either will sustain us, and both together sustain us well. We're a lot better at hunting than the great apes, which is interesting as our muscles are nowhere near as dense and powerful as theirs. [Even more tangentially, that has the interesting effect of making us better swimmers than all the other great apes. Boy are we just stuffed with talent.]
