Nor did we have the "equipment", meaning digestive system, to evolve into what we are today by being vegetarians.

Only now (meaning last few hundreds of years) that we have evolved to the point of selective crop raising in conjunction with understanding nutrition, can we make educated food choices if we wish to avoid eating meat and not end up with minimal muscle tone and bellies that look like that of a pregnant cow, all while having the extra energy to do more than only hunt for food and build huts, etc.

Everyone seems to think "evolution" is some past magic phase in history. Humans are evolving NOW at a more rapid pace than ever before!

I thought that, in order for humans to be "evolving NOW", people would have to be dying off by natural selection. If evolution were happening at a "rapid pace", people would have to be dying off in droves. Many people don't believe evolution applies to people because we have electronic food stamps and orgs like 'feed the children' keeping people from being 'picked' by natural selection.

Some groups having more children and others groups having fewer children is enough for evolution to occur. To have much of an effect I'd guess whatever drives the different rates of reproduction would need to continue across multiple generations.
