Please tell me your references on this.
Everything that I have read say that humans are omnivores
with a prediliction to store fat. But, just because we can ingest and
absorb "good stuff" (vitamins/minerals,etc) from both plant and animal
matter does not mean that both make up a good diet for us.

I would suggest reading:
"The Paleolithic Prescription", by ??
"Diet for a New America", by John Robbins
"Vegetarian Times" magazine (the most recent issue has a very good
   article about this - pick up at your favorite newstand/library)
