Partymember: Well, that may be true, but I think jekylljuice's point is that for now, civilisation is still very much in place, so we're free to do what we want nutrition-wise, and for some people that means foregoing bloody flesh in favour of tomato soup.
Still, I'm more of the school of thought that if my body
can digest meat, it would be a bit of a waste not to utilise that function. Being a vegetarian to me seems like buying a PlayStation 3 but refusing to use the built-in Blu-Ray player, to use a really geeky analogy.

The powers that be have seen fit to bless me with [
noun form of "omnivorous"]*, so damn it, I'm taking advantage! That, and I looooove the meat.
* - What the heck is the noun form of omnivorous? Omnivorousness? Omnivorosity? Omnivorification?
