No, not in the same way at all. We're omnivores but that doesn't mean we ~have~ to eat meat.
We evolved so when plant-based food was scarce we had the option of eating animals. There is some evidence (admittedly disputed) that many prehistoric tribes existed on an almost completely plant-based diet, rarely eating meat except as a last resort. Cows and other ruminants, on the other hand eat only one thing in nature: grass.
