That is absolutely true. We are omnivores by nature. However, I will say that meat take up quite a small portion of my diet. I do eat meat. Although I am bothered by how the meat facilities are affecting the environment. For instance, land erosion is a major issue which is caused by the wastes from these farms and meat facilities. God forbid that I should mention what they do to the waterways.

People aren't supposed to cramp thousands of cows into a pen. Same with chickens, pigs and other animals. It's just not a good way to raise meat.
