Here is some evidence on the nature of our diets.
Our nails are flattened ,and unlike carnivores,we don't have sharp pointed teeth.Both humans and herbivores have carbohyrate digestive enzyme in our saliva;while carnivores and omnivores don't.
Most importantly,both the carnivores and the omnivores have a colon that is short simple and smooth.And their stomach acidity is less than 1 pH with food in stomach;Humans like herbivores have a very long complex and sacculated colon,and our stomach acidity is around pH 4 to 5.
Our long intestinge length is designed for a high fibre diet (found only in plant food).Meat does not digest well in such environment.and often turns toxic which contributes to colon cancer.
Carnivores enjoy the act of savaging and the scent of blood.Sharks for example,are highly aroused by the scent of blood.
On the other hand,we cannot tolerated the sounds and cries of animals being killed,and the mere sight of blood is disturbing to us.
"If slaughterhouse had glass walls,everyone would be vegetarian.We feel better about ourselves and better about the animals knowing that we are not contributing to their pain"
