From what I've heard, the problem is not that our intestines are too long
for meat, but that carnivores' are too short for vegetable matter.

I've always had trouble with people's claims that humans are not designed
for eating meat; we and our ancestors all the way back to whatever pre-
primates we evolved from, have always eaten meat whenever it was available.
So why is it still bad for us?
