On the spectrum of cow to lion we are very far from the lion
Do you seriously not understand that cows are ruminants?

I actually do. My point was that on a spectrum of "apex predator totally tailored for eating meat" and total herbivore able to digest cellulose we are far from both ends.
The gp specifically stated we have "evolved to preferentially run on fatty meat from large game animals" and that is just plain wrong.
Here is a somewhat entertaining video with some specifics and sources. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmXynDLkbXY
There is also a ton of anthropological data on how our diets actually did evolve and although there are exceptions the gist is that we mainly relied on gathered plants with occasional meat.
