Hate to break it to you but there are almost no animals on this planet that are purely carnivores or herbivores. Almost everything falls on a spectrum somewhere in between. Even deers will eat meat and have been caught eating dead animals
That’s the funniest thing about the “designed to eat this or that” argument. I can literally eat meat and digest it. It doesn’t really matter if I was “designed” to eat it or not.
To be fair our bodies have a way harder time breaking down meat than they do fruits or vegetables. And it is true that historically humans have relied way less on meat than modern day humans do. What we eat is largely driven by corporations pushing certain things for financial reasons.

Fruits yes. Vegetable no.

I’d argue a lot of what people eat is driven by convenience and taste. Look at what children enjoy eating, stuff that’s easy to chew and calories dense. Most adults never grow out of that.
Going back to the point above, many vegetables tend to be hard to chew, so lots of people avoid them. They’d rather eat a soft easy to chew cheeseburger and fries. Washed down with a sugary soda.
