Why don't humans just eat plants?

If we just ate plants we would not get all the nutrients from plants because we cannot get protein carbohydrates or even healthy fats from them. Also just eating plants would upset your digestive system because we as humans do not have the acids in our stomachs to break down the plants. Even thought plants produce their own energy this energy can only be used so much in our body because it does not give us all the energy we need.
