Actually we are supposed to be omnivores - which means that we should have a diet which includes meat, vegetables, nuts etc... This can be seen by the type of teeth we have - canine teeth for tearing meat, molars for chewing veggies etc... This is also true of the majority of other primate species (chimp, gorilla etc)
But nearly 12,000 years ago farming was already being done to produce wheat, and later barley and other grains which were then introduced to the diet. Around 9000 years ago chickens and cattle were being domesticated in the Indian subcontinent.
6000 years ago bread was being produced (very much a manufactured food!) and only 1000 years after that alcohols were being fermented and sugar was being produced. It all kind of snowballs from there.
Admittedly you could say that today's e-numbers and highly processed foods are a long way from where we came from - and there is a lot of evidence that our bodies are not evolving along with our diets which is causing health problems. But basically we are supposed to eat the wide variety of foods we eat today - just maybe in different ratios than most people do!

We are supposed to eat vegetables, fish, fruits and a small amount of meat.
The problem with humans is that they eat what the processed food manufacturer put in their face and tell them how easy it makes our lives.
Leaving out all the facts that they don't want us to know about, like the unhealthy chemicals they use in these ready made meals.

We're omnivors;-} that means we eat everything.
We evolved this way as hunter/gatherers in order to survive.
Dinosaurs didn't adapt & died out; Pandas are threatened.
Koalas only eat eucalyptus leaves, they'll be next.

We are not carnivors, or herbifors, we eat veg and meat. I forget the name but carnivors and herbivors isn'[t natural, we evolved to eat whatever is available.. but we should be eating food that is available at the time of year, and should not eat stuff that is sent from foriegn lands.. Veggies really annoy me, it is not natural, for humans to eat just veggies.. and even worst are people that force vegitarianism on their pets, that is cruel..
