So, by your example, the first "instinctual" thing we did was eat insects. We later had to LEARN to eat nuts and fruits, and then, later still, meat.
This still doesn't prove that we are a vegan species by nature, nor does it contradict the contention that we ate meat before discovering fire.

Umm it might be called evolution. It may be that we are becoming better for it.

Man needs fire to eat meat, it kills germs and bacteria, and is still required to this very day ... man may have been able to get away with eating a little raw meat here and there, but he would not be able to survive on a long term basis without being able to cook meat. It is just not possible for man to have eaten meat before he learned how to build a fire. The article I posted above points that out. -JoeJoe

JoeJoe it is right there in the term, "hunter-gatherer". It occupies 90% of human history. https://www.history.com/topics/pre-history/hunter-gatherers
But why let a little thing like the truth get in the way of what you seem to believe? How delusional. Try reading books JoeJoe, not just things that confirm your own wacky point of view. Those people who study these things and are trained to do so share their information. You don't have to keep guessing and be so wrong.

There are Olympic stars who are variously vegans, vegetarians, and meat-eaters, who we all would agree are in good shape physically.
That's really all that matters isn't it? Whatever happened back in the Alley-Oop days, we've evolved so that we now have a variety of choices as to diet. Everyone's different. Different bodies do better with different diets. Let a thousand diets bloom! So I don't really understand meat-eaters or vegetarians arguing on the basis of health or what our species was "meant" to do either way. If someone wants to argue in favor of one or the other diet based on perceived ethical concerns i.e. is it right to eat a formerly sentient being, or does eating meat contribute to further climate and world hunger problems, then that seems a more fruitful discussion. Personally, what another person eats or doesn't eat doesn't concern me that much. I am a fish eater, but not a land animal eater, and I probably couldn't articulate why that is. It does have something to do with respecting animals, and distaste (!) for the whole factory mass slaughter meat industry. If I were able to, I would like to be a vegan for ethical reasons, but I put that in the same class as buying from Amazon: To me, eating any animal including fish is wrong, but it's too hard to stop. I know my limits.

That would be stupidity that would lead to the extinction of lions, not to mention that if you're alone you wouldn't think "let's" as that implies that you're not alone.

After watching lions and tigers and bears hunt rabbits, squirrels, voles, marmots, gophers, mice, chickens, pigeons, and the like, your first thought is going to be, "let's go hunt something we can catch and eat, like a rabbit, or a squirrel, or a vole, or a marmot, or a gopher, or a mouse, or a chicken, or a pigeon, or the like." That would not be stupidity. You are the only one using your ridiculous theories to back up your ridiculous theories. See JoeJoe you don't have to take down a Mastodon in order to eat. Simply eating smaller animals, often without the "leather hide" IS meat eating. It is the HUGE flaw in your silly point of view.

The prevailing logic was if man was a hunter-gather when he learned how to "farm", he must have always been a hunter-gather. That is incorrect, it is not true. We now know that man did not start-out as a "hunter-gather"; he ate like the monkeys in Africa do today - when they got hungry, they found food and ate it. It was all around them, there was no need to hunt or gather it. This lasted until there was a food shortage and man began to hunt and gather food. If your caveman is hunting, then go back further in time and you will find my caveman eating nuts and berries in the jungle without having to hunt or store anything. Quote:

They keep spewing lies telling people are body is meant for meat (no it is not), and that we have always eaten meat (no we have not), and that meat is healthy for us (no it is not). Then they take away all other options so we have nothing left to eat but meat - who here had a vegan menu at their school?? I'm thinking nobody. If you don't have an option, you don't have a choice. I didn't want to drink milk as a child, with tears in my eyes I cried as they forced me to drink it anyway. When my nephew told my parents he didn't want to eat animals, my parents didn't make him. By then, I had been vegetarian long enough they realized he would grow-up just fine and healthy on a plant-based diet. He is twenty-something now and has been vegetarian of his own choice since he was only three years old (very proud!) With every generation, more of the truth is coming out ... When I moved to this town twenty-some years ago, there was not a single "fake-meat" option at the grocery store. Now there are entire sections of grocery stores dedicated to plant-based diets.

While I'm sympathetic with much of what you say and do, I take issue with your statement that we are forced to eat meat. I admit I am no expert on this, but my understanding is that for most of pre-industrialized history, say, before the 1850s, most people in the world had diets that were mostly vegetarian with occasional meat for flavoring. Meat as a main course was for special days or for the rich. Think rice and beans or corn tortillas and cheese or pasta with tomato sauce or the extensive use of yams throughout Africa as diet staples for most of the world's population. And certainly today as you point out no one is forced to eat meat. There are many many alternatives available. It is true, however, that the meat manufacturers are a very strong lobby in the US and have the power to influence what are in my opinion many socially destructive decisions.
