I doubt the human organism evolved much in 80,000 years in response to diet.

How much our bodies have evolved for diet over 80,000 years is debatable for sure, but it's a secondary issue anyway.
Modern foods, especially meats have so much 'extra stuff' in them that isn't natural and isn't healthy for you on any level. Hormones, chemicals, etc.
Plus the balance of the foods we eat is off in most peoples diets anyway. Think of the Canada food guide that says you need 2-3 servings of meat, but 5-12 of veggies and 5-10 of grains or something.
Obviously that's just the most generic information, but I think we can all agree that most westerners eat a much higher % of meat in their diet than is even recommended by our own doctors and nutritionists.
Meat has become a staple, when all along it was supposed to be the side.
