I think you're right about Sticks, but he deserves credit for making an honest effort to understand. There's hope for him.
Sticks, in answer to your question, there are many examples of carnivorous animals with herbivorous ancestors, and vice versa (for example, all dinosaurs, including the plant-eaters, are descended from a carnivorous group). This is not a problem at all for evolution.
