Actually, people started eating meat when the Ice Age came, they had to become hunters because they used to be mostly gatherers when the climate was conducive, and I'm sure that occasionally, they would hunt, too.
There are people who actually live on only raw foods, fruit. Some of the Hunzas manage to survive on just "energy" - not sure how that works, mind over matter? Actually, people in jungles could very easily be vegan most of the time because of all the available fruit. As you may know, our intestines are extremely long, whereas true carnivores' are very short. In a nutshell: Carnivores also have stronger digestive acids and the food moves very quickly through the intestines, in about 12 hrs. Food can be inside our intestines, putrefying as long as 36 hours, and with weaker digestive juices. If things go as they are on this planet, something will seriously have to change - rearing animals for food is not effective to feed the masses and also destroys the planet in more ways than one.

BTW, I find it interesting that now people are against eating plants, how do these people live? What do they eat? & your right people are not going to stop eating meat, people have been eating meat since the dark ages, Tribes that still live in the jungles how would they survive? People who depend on the land for food?
