I'm not sure what you're talking about. How does one's body 'genetically' freak out?

You're still paying for it, which perpetuates the system.

  > We've been eating meat for millions of years
Our genetic ancestors diverged from the great apes 4–8 million years ago. I'm not sure we have good analysis of their diet, but I'm not an anthro-geek, so I might be out of the loop. [Toning it back to thousands of years would be more accurate.]
