From a biological perspective, the trend is surprising, as humans are not natural carnivores and thus, eating like a carnivore mismatches our anatomy and physiology.

[...] Those are just a few examples, but they certainly strongly suggest we should question if humans are naturally meant to eat meat. While we are obviously not carnivores, we seem confused about what we actually have evolved to eat. Humans are omnivores, but we come from a highly frugivorous ancestry! Our closest relatives – apes – are all still highly frugivorous and thus have evolved as specialized fruit-eaters. Chimpanzees are omnivorous frugivores, and humans, too!
