Omnivores
We're meant to eat whatever we can get our murdering paws on. Animals that are too slow/stupid to get away from us, fruit, berries, roots, shoots, carrion.

The human race spread around the world by it's adaptability - living off what is available. We're generalists, not specialists. While megafauna mammals died out along with sabre tooth cats and the like we ate ANYTHING.

Humans ate meat when they could get their hands on it or failing that things that didn't run.

Preachy?
I, on the whole, do not eat meat. The reason is that I think killing a creature that has a ongoing desire to live is wrong. I also think that most modern farming is cruel. I don't preach to meat eaters, and my son eats meat. I will quite happily buy steak for my mates for a BBQ, and I am also aware that;
Without Farming there would be no cows
Any life is better than no life
we are evolved as Omnivores

And on occasion I eat a bacon sandwich, usually when I am pissed.

But what I shove down my neck is my business, and mine alone. Both preachy sides of this debate can fuck off as far as I am concerned.
