The problem isn't that we aren't designed to handle yummy cow flesh (though I can give some weight to the idea that we are built to eat better meats) but that we tend to eat way too much of it. From my experience, strict vegans tend to wind up deficient in several categories which isn't any more healthy than eating too much steak. As always, my motto is moderation. As for the fact that you can feed 200 people with grain or 20 with a cow, well in all likelyhood the other 180 that really needed the grain wouldn't have gotten it anyhow. We right now can produce enough food to at least minimally feed the planet if we wanted to. It isn't production, it is distribution and who is going to pay the bill for it.
