We are omnivores as pointed out by Evolutionsend and thus are designed to eat meat. We are not designed in so many ways to just eat vegetable matter, but in all things there should be a balance.
You kill vegetables don't you? What is the difference?

Sorry what does that have to do with it? They are alive.
Just because their nutrient transport system is different does that mean they are ripe for slaughter and animals are not?
One should have respect for all things that one eats.
I agree, one should have respect for everything one eats. Unfortunately, in this day and age, many are unaware of the journey thier dyed slab of flesh has taken to reach them.

Complete rubbish. Obviously you have not studied animals very much, Pro-rata our intestine is designed for omnivore eating styles. It is nothing like a ruminant stomach and digestive system. The problems arise when we eat too much meat and when we eat an excess of highly refined foods - sugars etc.
The incidence of bowel cancer in Africa is very low. Not because they don't eat meat but because they eat it in moderation and compliment their diet with a high fibre input.

I agree with you on that completely.
I say you should not eat meat if you are not prepared to kill the animal, skin and gut it. Only that way to you truly appreciate what you are doing. That does not mean you have to do it all the time, just that you should be aware.
I will believe our optimal diet is meat

Not a matter of Herculean knowledge, just an interest in Biology.
Here you go so you cannot disagree that we are not designed as purely vegetable eaters: Ruminant

Jesus' words right after the flood:
Genesis 9:3,4
Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
I don't know how more clear He could have been?
