Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that God has revealed a code of health called the "Word of Wisdom". This health code says: "Flesh of beasts and fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with Thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly; And it is pleasing to me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine." (D&C 89:12-13) The code puts an emphasis on grains, fruits, and vegetables.
Ideally, therefore, Mormons should eat meat sparingly. However, most Mormons focus on the prohibitions of the Word of Wisdom (coffee, tea, tobacco, alcohol) and don't move on to the other suggestions. Many Mormons, especially in the United States where meat is popular, eat meat for nearly every meal. However, there are also Mormons who are vegan. Mormons believe that the Word of Wisdom is up for personal interpretation, and therefore do not all practice it in the same way.

What is a flexitarian?
This is the practice of seriously limiting the amount of meat one consumes, but still following the vegetarian diet most of the time. By reducing meat consumption, one still receives most of the health benefits associated with the vegetarian diet, while also enjoying the culinary freedoms enjoyed by those who regularly eat meat. Some people will eat meat once a week, once a month, or even more sparingly. Others will eat meat only when it's offered to them, such as at dinner parties or at restaurants. Others just try to eat as little meat as they can, in whatever way works best for them.

No one know exactly when humans began eating meat, but it probably began millions of years ago. Chimpanzees - our closest relatives, and who share 98% of our DNA - also eat meat. They eat meat sparingly though, and it composes only 1% of their diet. A majority of their diet is composed of fruits.
Do Mormons eat port?
I will assume you mean pork, not port, and yes, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") do eat pork, as well as all other kinds of meat. In fact, I'm a Mormon and I just ate pork for dinner! :) The Word of Wisdom (the Mormon Health Code) says this about meat: "Flesh of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving, nevertheless they are to be used sparingly; and it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, except in times of winter, or of cold, or famine." (Doctrine and Covenants 89:12-13) Mormon scripture also says that "Whoso biddeth to abstain from meats, that man should not eat the same, is not ordained of God. For, behold, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and that which cometh of the earth, is ordained for the use of man for food and for raiment." (Doctrine and Covenants 49:18-19 - compare to 1 Timothy 4:3-4) Because of this, many Church members try to cut back on their meat consumption, but most still eat it nearly every day. There are some Mormons who are vegetarians, too!
