The Law of Attraction teaches that we create our own realities by attracting like things/events to us based on our feelings. So does that mean that the victims of crimes are are attracting those crimes to them. It seems like blaming the victim. :(

I know humans evolved eating meat and plants Yet I heard how adopting a vegetarian diet is healthier. I tried it and have been a vegetarian for a year now, and I do feel healthier and more vitality. How can no meat be healthy if we evolved eating it?

It may well be that you feel healthier and more vital without eating meat, but this is not true for everyone.
And, there are people out there that argue being *vegetarian* is what is unhealthy and unnatural:

Either way, you should do what feels right for you; since everyone is different and your body will tell you what it needs. All you have to do is listen.

I've heard you talk about other universal laws like LoA. Why is LoA much better known than the others? It is more powerful/far-reaching/effective, or just the best marketed?

Definitely just better marketed.
Some of them like Correspondence, Gender, and Polarity are harder to grasp, too; but I've been working hard to make them easier to understand:
