In short... Our dentition can be seen as versatile. But its certainly intended more towards the vegetables than for raw meat. Just compare our canines to the other great apes!
And just like we see on the food pyramid, meat and fish are simply complementary. Not imperative.
ps: i'm not vegetarian. I'm saying this out of a simple unbiased opinion.
The only reason that we have small canine teeth is not because we are meant to be vegetarians but simply are bodies have adapted to eating 1. Cooked meat and 2. Meat does not have to be torn anymore thanks to the invention of the knife and fork.
