Why are you omnivores?

Answer 1

If by 'you' you mean human beings then we are omnivores because we eat both meat and vegetation (vegetables).

This question is kind of confusing... Because some religions have rules that they may not eat meat, so they're vegatations, but some people have a hard time living, and the only chance of survival is meat, so they're carnivores, but 94% of people in the world are omnivores.

Answer 2

People are considered omnivores because they eat both meat and plants. Not all people are omnivores, though - there are vegetarians, too (they eat nothing made of animals or coming from animals). I guess people could also be herbivores (they eat ONLY plants) or carnivores (they eat ONLY meat), but I haven't heard of that.

Answer 3

Humans have evolved to eat whatever they can find - they are omnivores. To this end they have teeth that can bite and gnash but also grind. Their intestines are median length between those of pure herbivores and carnivores.Our dietary requirements are such that we need amino acids and proteins not easily available from a vegetarian diet.

WE have even evolved a capacity to drink milk into adulthood to take advantage of that food source.
