...designed...?

Yes, if you look at the various anatomical and chemical systems in our body, we are clearly designed (chosen since I don't believe that we exist by evolutionary accident) to be able to eat both forms of food source.  However, we are not designed to eat grass, and I'm told that the conversion rate of a purely vegetarian diet (and I'd live on one quite happily) is not as good as that of a combined diet.
