I've looked at both, and I need animal products. :-D well you asked ;)

Not quite. As a child you learn from your parents what to eat and what not. You will be very cautious about eating anything that does not fit into the picture you have been taught. This does not only apply to eating meat.

Let's not split hairs by counting eggs or fish as 'vegetables'. You may not directly need meat to get them, but without a proper source of some animal fats or proteins you are in trouble.

Further addressing the latter group: consider that the capability of doing something (like using your incisors) is no justification for doing it. You can, after all, bite your cats throat open and use the blood to dye your socks - but you don't. Why not? What you can do and what you should do overlap like two Venn Diagrams.
Fortunately I don't believe that we have been designed. I would have some question to the designer's sanity then. Like all organisms we have evolved and the anatomy of an organism tells us a lot about its natural way of life. What would you conclude from our teeth or from our digestive system? Do they resemble those of herbivores very much? And now we take the cat again. It could not even digest vegetables. Would it also be a question of morality? Or do cats have different morals? Indeed they do, because they would starve if they are not able to catch and kill their prey. They don't feel guilty at all. They are proud of what they do.
I am endeavoring, ma'am, to construct a mnemonic memory circuit using stone knives and bearskins.

Not quite 'back at you': I wasn't talking about caution. I was talking about disgust. The concept of killing and tearing apart another creature is not an extension - it is a chasm.

The protein requirement - well I refer you to my initial post. The majority of my sons body (muscle) mass (six feet plus) could be rightly attributed to Morningstar Farm products - soy protein. And gluten. No one cooks eggs in my house - period, but that's not dietary maxim, but rather based on a strong reaction to the smell. We don't eat fish. That's a weird leftover from Catholicism's no-meat Friday thing. Design? Then I suggest you repair to my previous post. Can and should are not identical. You can kill your next door neighbor so you can take his stapler - but that doesn't mean you should. But, you can. Similarly, you're designed to reproduce - so why not copulate with every female that attracts your attention . . . whether they want to or not? Hence, one can easily argued and defend the concept that a sentient being controls their actions within their abilities.

Today is also Taco Day in the US, promoted by Taco Bell. That's a curious thing to me, as nothing Taco Bell makes remotely resembles a taco.
