None of that is true.
Just let YMMV play with his toys, it makes him happy.
Humans are best suited to be herbivores:
Ideal cholesterol levels are only seen in herbivorous populations.
Ideal BMI is only seen in herbivorous populations.
The healthiest, longest living culture on earth is herbivorous.
Pretending to be an omnivore is our leading cause of death.
Blood, guts, and gore tends to make people sick (PTSD rates are high amongst slaughterhouse workers)
We have no protein receptors on our tongue, unlike carnivores and herbivores.
We have no fat receptors on our tongue, unlike carnivores and herbivores. (The reason meat tastes good is because we pack it with salt and PLANT FOODS [spices] )
We can move our lower jaw side to side, like all other herbivores, omnivores like dogs cannot do this.
Carnivores and omnivores have shear-like molars, where the top ones overlap the bottom ones. Ours do not.
Carnivores and omnivores have large mouths and throats for the size of their body so that they don't choke on flesh, herbivores like us do not.
Omnivore stomachs have a pH of about 1, ours are of a pH of 4 to 5 like other herbivores
Omnivore stomachs usually comprise 2/3 of their digestive tract length, ours make up only about 1/4 of our digestive tract length, just like other herbivores (a wolf can eat 20lb of meat in a single meal, that's the equivalent of humans eating 100 hamburgers)
Vegan gut bacteria profiles have higher amounts of protective species, and reduced amounts of pathobionts
Omnivores usually have intestinal lengths of 4-6 times their torso length, for us like other herbivores it is 10-12x (which is why end up intaking all the cholesterol from meat whereas carnivores and omnivores quickly are done with their food. Also why we can get more plant nutrients out of food than omnivores and carnivores.)
When you take other herbivores like a rabbit or a kind of monkey and feed them meat, they get clogged arteries. But you cannot induce this in a dog, an actual omnivore. Clogged arteries, AKA heart disease is the #1 cause of death.
Eating too much meat can cause Diberticulitis, which is basically lethal constipation, and was known to regularly kill the Inuit.
Our canines do not make us omnivores, herbivores like gorillas also have canines. Omnivores and carnivores have very large canines for piercing flesh. Think cat teeth, or dog teeth.
I could go on. The list really does go on and on...
