Well there's a difference between evolution and natural selection. What I was implying was that our diet may not influence our evolution through natural selection because modern medicine may prevent us ridding ourselves of the bad mutations or may keep good mutations that will adapt to western diet from rising to the top. So it makes sense that we are more diverse because the best genes are less competitive. But genetic mutations occur no matter what we eat, so, yes, we'll continue to evolve.
