But if I read the sources of your article I actually see interesting points in favor of the scavenger/hunter evolutionary pressure, not a vegetarian one:
https://www.nature.com/scitable/knowledge/library/evidence-f... The other article does seem to be in favor of promoting a vegetarian view. But to me it seems incredibly lackluster:

To shorten it up:
1) Today we suffer of diet related disease
2) Other great apes are mostly vegetarians
3) Our digestive system is very similar to that of apes
result:
The recommendation that Americans consume more fresh fruits and vegetables in greater variety appears well supported by data on the diets of free-ranging monkeys and apes. Previously our differences from apes have been correlated to the fact that we cook food: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/272419339_Comparati... Thus, humans are relatively poor among autoenzyme-dependent omnivores in digesting uncooked plant fiber. The human large intestine lies somewhere between that of the pig, a similar omni-vore, and the dog, a carnivore capable of consuming an omnivore diet that has a reduced cecum and short colon.
