Whether you are a creationist or an evolutionist, both theories support meat eating habits.

I don't think they've actually discovered the "meat-eating genes", have they?
When you say that we were meant to eat meat, evolutionarily speaking, that's not really true. Evolution has no mind of its own. It has no "goal" or "desire". They way to look at it is this: Our ancestors started adding meat to their diet, and their teeth slowly adapted as a result.
It seems likely that if we decided to start eating something else, then our bodies would eventually adapt to fully exploit that food source as well.
