is there a reason why most/all food animals are naturally herbivorous?

I'm going to agree with Vioxel on this one. Most large carnivorous
animals are too aggressive for husbandry.

i know people eat dogs in some countries, but are there any other
naturally carnivorous animals that are used for food?

Cats are also eaten in some cultures. Other omnivorous/carnivorous
animals used for food would include raccoon, opossum, snake, alligator,
bear, turtle, monkey, etc.

chickens, by the millions....

which was one of the reasons for the phrase naturally herbivorous.
most food sheep are carnivorous now, but not naturally so.

Chickens turkeys and pigs are natural omnivores.
