has not exempted us from the need for protein. And meat protein is by far the most efficient way to get that.

It's an intellectual concept that we don't need meat. Yes, I know plenty of people do without meat, and good for them. For you, too.

But to think we've evolved beyond needing meat is simply not accurate.

The inverse is the Paleo diet, the idea we should be eating exactly as our distant ancestors did, although none of those paleo diets seem to take into account that different ancient ancestors would have eaten very different diets.
