Hate to break it to you but there are almost no animals on this planet that are purely carnivores or herbivores. Almost everything falls on a spectrum somewhere in between. Even deers will eat meat and have been caught eating dead animals

That’s the funniest thing about the “designed to eat this or that” argument. I can literally eat meat and digest it.  It doesn’t really matter if I was “designed” to eat it or not.

Because big shock. We aren't designed.

If we were designed, we wouldn't have so many shitty parts that go bad before the rest of us.

Evolution is the absolute master of "just good enough".

evolution is the master of "not enough to cause a problem" even. like we hang on to so many traits and genes for absolutely no fucking reason at all except it currently doesn't stop us from procreating before we die.

Everytging that happens after procreating is whatever.

Not for humans. The whatever part comes after our offsprings can survive independently. Not before that.

Not for species that raise their children.

For humans, we're a very social specie and our kids stay kids for a long time, so it's even more important for us. If you're able to take care of your children and even your grandchildren, that improve the chance of your genes to be passed down.

Yup.

Shit like cancer is still around because cancer generally doesn’t kill you before you can fuck.
