You write "not supposed to because of our physique", but we can eat meat and have adapted and evolved from being mainly herbivorous to including meat in our diet and so I don't agree with you.
Talking historical diets and excluding the modern bananas from the supermart, meat is not as difficult to digest as you might think. Aside from fruits and some other exceptions, plants are generally tough eating. Since they can't fight or run away, they protect themselves from being eaten by f.ex being poisonous or too tough to digest. Meat is generally easier on the stomach.
edit :
To clarify the point, you could turn your own argument around and say we don't have huge gorilla bellies and we can't digest grass so we're probably not "supposed" to be vegetarians.
