Gorillas and many other animals eat insects to compensate protein needs. Also those animals were made to process a lot more food than humans are. Our ancestors may not have survived without the ability to eat meat.
Edit: If you look at the amount of grass it takes to match the calories in a 4-ounce steak you'll understand why cows spend the day grazing. Also we can't process grass, it just won't break down in our system the way it will in a cow. The simple fact is we are not those other animals that get huge on a vegetarian diet. Again not that it can't be done but it would have to be intelligently thought out and probably tedious to maintain.
Yes they do eat insects every now and then but there is no way that they get a lot of protein from eating insects on a daily basis.
There's a lot of speculation regarding our ability to utilize nutrients. One thing is for sure and that is with plant foods they come with the enzymes we need to break the food down to utilize the nutrients whilst meat purely depends on our pancreas to produce the enzymes needs to digest the meat.
My friends who have gone vegan and have done so in a very convincing way because they find it easy now because of the health benefits that they report. At first it was very hard for them, but then again, what isn't hard when you first start? When I first started to train that **** was hard. Nothing good ever starts easy.
