Unfortunately, we also do a lot of other things in our non-natural habitat that are more destructive. Over many generations we have strayed further and further from what is a natural lifestyle for humans. This has taken a serious toll on our health. The truth is that if we live the way we are designed to live, in accordance with the natural laws, health is the inevitable result. Does it make sense for it to be any other way? Would we really be the only species on the planet designed to degenerate and fall apart? Another truism is that to the extent that we disobey the natural laws, our health may decline.
It is noteworthy to compare our anatomy with that of other species that eat other foods such as meat and grains. We see that we are designed quite differently than a carnivore, for example. A true carnivore has the biological equipment to catch a live animal, and to kill, devour, and digest the animal in its raw, uncooked state, and the desire to do so. It has long sharp claws, large pointed teeth for tearing flesh, very strong stomach acids for killing bacteria and digesting proteins, and a short digestive tract which allows the meat to pass through the body with relative speed so it does not putrefy and toxify the body. A true herbivore has multiple stomachs for processing grasses. True granivores (a grain-eater), birds possess a gizzard in the throat which breaks down the tough raw grain. An omnivore in the wild will always eat its preferred natural diet when it is available, and will only resort to less ideal foods when necessary for its survival. We are closest cousins with a smaller primate who is a frugivore, deriving its ideal principle nourishment from fresh fruits.
