Our ancestors generally weren't eating massive portions of heavily processed, heavily spiced meat. Taco Bell gives you the shits because it's Taco Bell, not because it's meat.

In fact, many of our ancestors were often eating so little meat as to be nutritionally insignificant, which is the other major hole in the "eating meat is natural" argument.

But I really don't know why you added "heavily spiced" in there. Spices are usually more or less nutritionally neutral.

Nutritionally neutral, but not gastrointestinally, as folks sensitive to spicy food can attest.
