Man is an omnivore As the staple diet of the average human doesnt consist primaraly of meat he is not a carnivore Also since it is also not vegitation he is not a herbivore So therefore he must be an omnivore, since he eats both

you say man is omnivore as it eat both plants and flesh. that mean you say that man who eats flesh of any other living being is called non vegetarian.if this is true then plants & trees according to science are also living beings .so acc to me man is a carnivore. what about u say?

you are not getting to the point . first tell me what is the difference between plants and humanbeing.the only difference is that they can not move or they dont have heart like humans.but they also have feelings they also takes oxygen and co2. they also make there food as u have studied in science.as we have skin colour on us they have gren colour due to chlorophyll and that green colour is their skin.

I do get your point, but the definition of carnivore is "meat eater" , not one who eats living things. The definition of omnivore is one who eats meat and vegetation. A herbivore is one who eats only plants and vegetables. If you would like to discuss the point of how can a vegetarian eat a plant as it is a living thing than I suggest starting a new discussion, but Humans are omnivore. If they are vegan ,and ONLY eat thing that do not come from or are not borne of any animal then they are herbivore. I am never rude to others but I feel that you need to not be rude to people who respond correctly to your thread, as they all answered the question correctly!

human r omnivore according to science .but according to me humans are carnivore as man is only a meat eater all the plants are living they also breathe like humans but we are not able to see they also make food due to photosynthesis they have green peal which act as a skin so now what u understand from this.

Obviously man is an omnivore. A carnivore would be strictly a meat eater, so you would never have vegetables or sandwiches. As an omnivorous creature we can survive on either meat or vegetation, but ideally our diet should consist of both.

food people eat - The food many people eat is usually meat. But in fact, fruits and vegetable are more healthy to the body.
Human are omnivore. That why hamburgers, nuts, sugar rich candies and all junk foods attract so much business. If you open a restaurant selling healthy foods. Your business income must be much lower than those of junk food shops. So I think man and woman are both omnivore.

Omnivore, just look at your teeth, there are ones for meat eating and fruit. Also, have a look at the chimpanzee diet, they are able to eat meat and veg, we evolved from them so naturally we can eat and digest both.
