It may adapt, but what is it most efficiently evolved for? The page she
referenced purports to show that the human digestive tract is, in fact,
optimized for a meat diet. On a basis of natural law, this means that it
is in fact not naturally immoral for humans to kill animals and eat their
meat. One might say that it is more moral than displacing herbivorous
animals in the food chain of an ecosystem with humans practicing the less
efficient herbivorous lifestyle.
