I could ask the same about evolution, right. I would need to do some study on that one and at this time well... I do not have the time.
You could ask the same, and anyone with half a brain would know the answer. It is all about mutation and natural selection. If there is a sudden environmental pressure for a certain herbivorous species to start eating meat, then whichever individual or group of that species is going to survive better than the others.
For example, there is a disease that wipes out all the plants in an area, and there is a species of herbovores there. Whichever animal has the sharpest teeth, the longest digestive track, the strongest stomach acid, and the best enzymes for digesting meat will survive and produce more than the animals that don't. His/her babies will have the same carnivorous traits, and their babies will, and so on and so on.
