Humans Are Designed To Eat Fruits, Vegetables And Nuts

I'm vegan but I'm getting sick of this tiring debate between vegans and non-vegans. The 'human' was not designed, it adapted to its environment in a way that it maximizes its ability to survive. The human can digest cooked meat just fine, the human can produce lactase to break down lactose in dairy products. When you look at European countries, the people there actually produce naturally more lactase than for instance African people. It's harder for African people to digest dairy products. All this says is that the human species is very adaptable to the food that is available in its environment. 

Both sides of the argument of the debate between if people are 'designed' to be meat eaters or not, is ridiculous. The world is in constant change, be it environmentally, biologically and ethically. 

So why am I vegan? Because humanity is more and more waking up to the Truth, the truth of the illusion of separation. Which comes along with respect for sentient and non-sentient beings. Animals have the ability to suffer. Plants ,probably, have not. Still, the plants deserve to be treated with respect and grace.

I'm vegan for very similar reasons @vizual - great response but/and Ye olde teeth thing got me interested in the topic many years ago so must admit it was one of the first things to question the "normality" of eating meat.
