First let me say i appreciate you not downvoting my arguments just because you don't agree with me, its a step up from at least half the people on this site.

Humans are capable of eating both meat and vegetables but that doesn't mean we need to eat both. Humans can survive fine with a vegetarian diet. A meat diet can directly and indirectly cause harm to humans, animals, and the planet.
- meat can be unhealthy and lead to weight issues as well as illnesses
- slaughterhouses can cause pain to animals as well as injury to workers
- meat production contributes negatively to the environment from global warming to deforestation for corps.
Humans might be the best predators but that doesn't mean we need to eat meat. Also, if we couldn't cook our meat would we even eat it? You say we are the most natural predators but cooking our meat to eat doesn't seem so natural. Also, often, if we don't cook our meat we can get food poisoning that most predators never have to worry about, why is that? If you look at the overall autonomy of the human being you can realize that without our ability to think we would be pretty lousy predators.
- our teeth are inferior to other predators
- we don't have claws talons etc...
- we are slow runners
- our sense of sight, hearing, and smell are inferior to most predators.
Humans might enjoy eating processed and cooked meat but few if any are willing or able to chase down a deer, tear it apart with our fingernails and teeth to eat it raw like other natural predators.
