The Ancient Greek philosophers used to say "everything in moderation". We all need plant food AND meat and dairy. In my family we eat meat once or twice a week, lots of fish, and even more vegetables

We’ve not needed to eat raw meat for millennia, since we’ve had fire. Maybe before that we did have a system better suited to eating raw meat. Though people still eat steak tartare and carpaccio so there’s that, too 🤷♀️ To be fair it’s ground or thinly sliced and not huge hunks of meat but still raw.

Yes our bodies are designed that way! Despite vegans’ protestations to the contrary.
We are meant to be omnivores.
But not carnivores. We don't have the morphology to chew and digest raw meat.
True carnivores have acidic stomachs that digest meat with very little chewing.
True herbivores have very long digestive tracts.
