ELI5: Are Humans Omnivores? Why do so many vegans argue we are herbivores?

I am getting assaulted on facebook by OMNI deniers. Pls. Help.

" Lions are natural meat eaters. People are herbivores. Look at our teeth. We don't kill with our physical bodies. We inclose animals and kill them with machinery. People are physically killing themselves eating meat. It is scientifically proven to cause 90% of diseases. Cancer, heart disease, depression, asthma, allergies, diabetes"

What?

Yes, humans are omnivores. However, vegans would argue that because of our intelligence we now have the ability to find ways to meet our nutritional requirements without eating meat, and that we should avoid eating animal products because it's the moral thing to do now that we've reached a point where we don't NEED to eat meat, even though we naturally would and obviously could.
