We've all heard the anatomical arguments that humans can't be
carnivores many, many times before, I'll wager.  Can it really be so
easy, though?  We humans are very odd in many ways.  To say that the
sharing of (what is it?) 98% of our genome with chimps means we should
eat the same food ignores the HUGE physical differences that such a
small genetic difference can obviously result in.  Would you ever
mistake a human for a chimp? :D

Besides, chimps and gorillas are even closer, genetically, and yet
they are quite different from each other, dietarily.  I don't have any
scientific references; I'm just saying that it strikes me as too easy
an answer.  For those who want to look at the comparative anatomy
argument under a much brighter light, there's a fascinating page at
