Not you personally, but some vegetarians make this arument.  In the book "Fit
for Life", they make this exact argument, that Gorillas are strong, despite
only eating plants.  I've heard others make similar arguments, or arguments for
veganism where people are arguing that cows milk is not designed for humans.

I don't have a problem with people who choose these dietary lifestyles, but as
someone who studied science, scientifically inaccurate arguments are a little
grating.
