(hope I got those spellings right!?!)

A friend and I got into a discussion about this b/c I've been successfully moving towards a vegetarian diet. The friend believes that humans are carnivores, but I don't think that's right. Does anyone have any scientific insights on just what we humans are SUPPOSED to eat?

I found something today that said basically humans were originally herbivores, then b/c of migration and 'convenience' basically, man started eating meat. I don't know if this is 'right' either. Any thoughts? Anybody? :shrug:
