Canine teeth / * The GI tract anatomy of an omnivore / * The production of the enzyme protease, which breaks down meat.
NONE of those features would be present if we weren't supposed to eat meat.
If we were supposed to be vegetarians, our teeth would all be flat for grinding grains/plants (like molars). We would have the GI tract of an herbivore (e.g., a horse). We would not produce protease.

Oh please, everyone knows that enzyme has no catalytic mode of action.
Also have you ever seen a Gorilla?
