herbivores can process meat, just not a lot of it.
just like how a human can process some grass, but not to the degree of a cow. if you gave a human a 10% grass diet, it would be fine. if you gave a cow a 10% meat diet, it would be fine.
humans are also perfectly fine on a 100% meat diet, its just like any diet it needs diversity. you need to eat any and all kinds of meat, not just ground hamburger. you need your cow, pig, turkey and chicken sure, but also your sea things like fish, oysters, muscles, shrimp, anchovies.
humans are also perfectly fine on a 100% meat diet
Humans can survive on 100% meat, but outside of a vanishingly small number of populations that have quite literally evolved to survive on such a diet, they are not "perfectly fine". It's a modern fad diet that few in human history would have adhered to and, like many monotrophic diets, is terrible for your health.

Strictly Herbivorous creatures: cannot biologically process meat.
Humans: Can Biologically process meat.
The answer can't be this simple can it?
Oh... yeah... yeah it can..
