well if your a carnivore you ONLY eat meat.
if your a herbivore you ONLY eat "plants" like vegetarians
if your an omnivore you eat both meat and "plants" so if say you like a nice juicy steak and a side salad you would be an omnivore.
Humans are often called omnivores, because even if someone is a vegan, they still need nutrients from animals so they take pills.
Human organism however is mostly herbivorous. Length and shape of our intestines, stomach acidity, saliva composition, fibre in our digestive tracks, teeth with molars, the fact that cholesterol is a problem for us - it all makes us more similar to herbivorous than to carnivorous or even omnivores.
All monkeys, our cousins, are herbivorous. Meat is (in evolutionary scale) quite recent part of our diet and we are not fully adjusted to it (note the problems we have digesting raw one or how easily fat spoils our health).
