animal based eating is ridiculous and your "evolutionary" reasoning for it is insane. vegetables contain amino acids, vitamins, fiber, and plenty of other components that are vital for healthy human function. that's not up for debate. "why babies would spit out something that's supposed to be good for them?" it's bc evolution doesn't give us superpowers. our taste receptors generally find some poisons/inedible objects to be bitter, but that detection is fallible. there's things that are terrible for you that taste great, poisons that have no taste at all, and fruits/animal parts that taste terrible but really have no adverse effects at all. if you're confused on why our ancestors would ever eat vegetables that tasted so bad, it simply has to do with availability. plants don't move, and when hunts aren't successful you settle for what you have. if you're claiming that we don't NEED to eat vegetables because our taste buds tell us they're poisonous, i'd ask you to ponder the levels of death and diseases our ancestors faced directly linked to malnutrition, conditions like scurvy, anemia, sudden heart failure, etc. just because vegetables taste bad, doesn't mean they're poisonous or that our ancestors didn't eat them. it's just a limitation of evolution that things that don't actively kill you won't be selectively pressured out. vegetables tasting gross hasn't actively killed humans because we kept eating them regardless, so our tongues never evolved to suddenly like vegetables. that doesn't even vegetables are poison, or unnecessary for our diet. if anything eating vegetation helped the race survive and the advent of farming communities was one of the biggest factors in us developing to this point.
