Predators' enlarged canine teeth are for catching and killing their prey, not for eating meat. Interestingly, the teeth that are adapted for meat eating in carnivores, their carnassials, are pretty similar in general shape to our incisors and canines. The carnivores carnassials are more jagged because of the limited room for their cutting action since the are in their cheeks. Human incisors are actually more effective at cutting meat in some ways than carnivores' teeth. And our "side-to-side" jaw motion is quite effective at cutting meat with our incisors. And humans can choke on anything that is large enough and hard enough.
