if meat is natural in our diet?!
Answers:
meat isnt really natural in our diet. we're omnivores, so we CAN live off of meat, plants, or both---but our bodies arent made like a carnivores, which is why we have to cook our meat (meat begins to rot VERY quickly after the animal is killed, carnivores have special enzymes so that they can still eat raw meat, omnivores do not have this enzyme and can get sick and even die if they eat uncooked meat that isnt 100% fresh)

This question appears to be a "gotcha", some sort of proof that we all should be vegetarians.
If that was your intent, you have failed.
That is like asking if walking is natural, why do we drive cars.
It is simply a preference.
Besides, not everybody "disguises" their meat.
I suppose "disguise" means cooked and seasoned. My dog, a true carnivore, also "savors" cooked and seasoned meat.
Technically were omnivores because were capable of consuming both animals and plants. But that doesn't mean this is the healthiest for us. Humans are also capable is consuming ice cream and cupcakes. But is it the healthiest choice for us? Of course not.
The way we produce meat these days definitely isn't natural. We breed cows and treat them like they are inanimate objects. Meat is now the main focus of every meal. I know many people stress that animals killing other animals for food is a part of nature... but honestly the way we consume animals just isn't natural.
Not sure we do! Surely when you cook a whole chicken it's left in it's natural state pretty much. What about a hog roast, that's looks like the animal with few things removed. A lot of the animals we eat are too large to eat in one go - so we cut them up into smaller individual portions.
first of all, we're not *just* carnivores, we are omnivores. Our instincts and tastes have evolved to protect us from suggestions of taint or corruption that would make us sick. Since meat rots at a very quick pace, we have developed a taste for processed 'clean' meats. That's why we buy meat looking the way it does.
Well said blah.
Not really, we can eat it (and gain nourishment from it) if we have to, but the human body is better designed for a plant based diet.
Because we are not true carnivores, we are omnivores.
There is no disguise. The most tasty and desirable cuts of meat are ate, as it is 2011 the consumption of the whole carcass is not necessary
