Purina Dog Chow Review

I think you mean 'carnivore', and people would be closer to omnivores than carnivores - but, carnivores in the wild - lions, canines, tigers, etc. have a short intestinal tract, herbavores - like deer, cows, rabbits, etc. have a long digestive tract. Meat takes a long time to digest, and is best suited for carnivores as their intestinal tract is shorter and the meat leaves the body quickly (ever leave meat out at room temperature for a few days? Nasty!), vegetation moves through more quickly and is better suited for a longer intestinal or digestive tract. Also, carnivores have a different set up of teeth, with the 'canines' situalted for tearing into tough raw meat and grinding bnes. Hervavores have teeth more for grinding vegetation. You can still get the requirements of protein, which is actually a lot less than most americans do eat, in other foods as nuts, beans, etc. But of course that's my opinion, and everyone is entitled to their own.
