Humans quite literally domesticated wolfs to make dogs and then proceeded to try to feed such dogs an omnivorous diet (despite how wolfs are carnivores) and (non) magically, dogs can survive on an omnivorous diet now.
>bread doesn't exist in nature and humans aren't designed to eat it.
Human ancestors used tools and fire to prepare food and humans have a long history of growing grains and turning them into unleavened bread, although at some stage humans discovered yeast and it turns out that less dense bread tastes much nicer.
Previously humans weren't designed to drink cows milk (and lacked Lactase expression after childhood), although one group of humans just kept drinking the delicious milk and didn't care (the nutrients and the energy were very beneficial and not outweighed by bloating) and eventually even ended up with retained Lactase expression - while another group evolved a gut bacteria makeup that allows for a few hundred mL of milk a day without digestive issues (although groups of humans that don't have a long history of milk drinking tend to be lactose-intolerant).
Human's design has evolved to suit what humans have been eating just fine - and bread is what humans have been eating for thousands of years - it was only the introduction of unfortified white bread as a staple food that caused problems.
>what's natural for an animal is what's healthy for it.
Not necessarily.
There is many downright bizarre but natural animal behaviors that certainly aren't healthy.
One example is how many animals like to go for rotting fruit (as it contains Ethanol, a strong neurotoxin that happens to be well tolerated in many mammals) even when fresh fruit is available.
>i'm off to eat ribs.
I don't believe hunter-gatherers ate only ribs, let alone ribs likely soaked in HFCS.
