Regarding evolution/change and diet, I went through rapid changes in tastes of music, art, ideas, entertainment and beliefs. At the same time I found myself automatically moving away from meat.
Violent films, games, TV programs, combative sports all drifted away and suddenly became absurd to me, after 25+ years of enjoying them.
I think the link between diet and state of being is (quite obviously) intrinsically linked. This is from my own experience, and the experience of many friends who also went through such changes.
It's also clear in the animal kingdom that aggression and eating meat are linked. Animals that do not eat meat are far less, if at all aggressive.
On another note, many sources mention that eating meat lowers one's vibration, especially of that which has been inhumanely treated. There is also scientific evidence of this; chemicals and hormones produced when the animal is in fear of it's life effectively poisons the meat. Consumption of this causes chemical imbalances in one's own body.
It is also often reported that eating organic, raw, fresh fruit and vegetables increases one's vibration. Again, a source I trust, Bashar, talks of this. Along with many others of course. From personal experience, I can honestly say that I feel lighter and have more energy when not eating meat.
It makes complete sense to me that one's own state of being - vibration - will determine which foods (each carrying a specific vibration) you're attracted to. Bashar talks of this, as does Abraham.
Ever wonder why fruit and vegetables look and taste delicious? It's because nature is offering it's best gifts in which to attract consumption. Hence, when you eat a piece of fresh fruit, like an apple, you're tasting natural perfection :¬)
Scientifically, there is proof of this; raw foods contain enzymes which help break down the food in your stomach (rather than meat, which takes 3 days to break down), and rather importantly, many (all?) fruits actually depend on being consumed. It is the act of consumption, digestion and excretion that disperse the seeds.
Animals, on the other hand, do not depend on being eaten to reproduce.
Animals have brains, emotions (conscious fear) and a nervous system (pain), while plants to do not. Add to the fact that many plants depend on consumption in which to survive, and do not register any reaction to being consumed when given love and gratitude beforehand (Baxter), to me personally, the comparison becomes a moot point.
I do not judge meat eaters, at all, by the way. These are my personal beliefs gained through my own experience :¬)
P.S. On a side note relating to diet (outside of the meat debate) Ra offers the notion that evolution includes the body. Many people neglect the body and yet expect to achieve the flowering of consciousness. They will, but in limited doses. Treat your body badly and you will not evolve, consciously, as much as another who treats it with respect. Yogis also offer this advice, as do other cultures who aim to attain enlightenment. I tend to trust cultures that over centuries repeatedly spawn individuals holding high levels of consciousness (with highly adept abilities - i.e. controlling one's internal organs/heart rate/metabolism), all offering the same advice :¬)
