I think it can take a time to withdraw from being accustomed to eating meat; I was lucky in that my parents did not feed me any pork, although I did have it several times because I liked it on pizza but they (especially my father) did not approve. I think pork is the most difficult meat to give up, possibly even resulting in a personality change. Mine changed for the worse when I felt like I had to eat pork about a year ago; less focused, more distracted by emotion, undisciplined, oversilly instead of being able to be serious. I dont think it's a matter of evolution but it might take a while to get used to life without meat; also I have a theory that if there are lots of children in your family it might be more difficult or not possible to give up meat.

Carnivores and omnivores have longer intestinal tracts in order to process animal flesh. That's an example of adaptation and evolution. So you could say that we omnivores are more evolved than vegans (vegetarians) at least from a biological standpoint.

As for the "moral" reasons a person decides to forsake animal flesh and eat just veggies, grains, etc., that is a highly personal decision. I don't think that just because some people choose the vegan way of life they are automatically "better" people. I have run into some very judgmental vegans who were all impressed with themselves for following that particular path.

Besides, don't plants have feelings, too?

Have to go and take a nap. My roast pork dinner made me sleepy...

That's like asking "Are Labrador retrievers much less evolved than German shepherds?"

The obvious answer is, "No." Human beings all share the same basic physical characteristics and have evolved in the same way. Deciding whether to eat meat is a moral/personal decision and has nothing to do with evolution.

On the contrary, if evolution is at stake, then omnivorous individuals have evolved to fit any habitat whereas the vegetarians haven't progressed sufficiently to endure all climes. Carnivores require other animals as a food source but omnivores have a wide range of food stuffs.

Being a vegetarian is a decision. I'm interested on what you have to say about your question.

humans evolved from small herbivore apes to omnivore humans. humans ARE omnivores, so being veg is actually going against nature.

No, though almost all vegans and vegetarians probably think they are superior to everyone else.
