Human's are "meant" to do many things. I would agree that we are suited by natural and evolution to consume meat.

BUT

Something that's special about humans is that we can make choices against our own nature. We would never have gotten as far as we have if we didn't suppress some of our natural urges and behaviours (even if some of that is what has allowed us to become what we are... but every hand of cards can have its aces and its jokers).

I'm nowhere close to being a vegetarian. Even still, I don't question that there's ethical merit to not killing other living animals if possible not to.

I don't care what the chemicals in my brain tell me to do. I will do what I want... but I will still eat meat.
