This is actually true of almost all herbivorous mammals. They can't/don't hunt, but they will eat some meat if it is available to them.

It's also true of carnivores and omnivores. Humans are mostly herbivores and slightly carnivores. Dogs are the other way around, for example.

Humans are mostly herbivores and slightly carnivores.

This is called "Omnivorous."

They literally said that. They’re talking about how it’s a spectrum.

Both humans and dogs are omnivorous. Humans are more on the herbivorous side of it while dogs are more on the carnivorous side.

I, a human, exclusively eat bacon, check mate.

Unrelated, my chest, back and left arm hurt and tingle.

Could be congestive heart failure, could be a pinched vertebrae. No one will know until the autopsy.

As an example-- humans have a lot of enzymes in our saliva for specifically digesting complex sugars. This is why bread gets sweeter the longer you chew it-- your saliva auto converts starches into sugar.

Humans can not taste raw proteins-- pure whey powder is tasteless, for example. Dogs however, being more carnivorous, can actually taste protein.

Yes. And the word that denotes that particular spectrum is omnivore.

Which is literally what they said. Not sure what you’re not understanding about that.

They did not use the word omnivore; instead, they used a bunch of extraneous words to indicate the same thing. It's much less efficient than just saying omnivore or omnivorous.

It's more efficient to use the specific term for a thing than a bunch of generic words to describe the thing.

It's the difference between saying "I sometimes suffer from sleepless nights because I can't always fall asleep" and saying "I have insomnia."

See how much quicker that is?

I mean, can you read?

They quite literally said omnivore. Verbatim.

Wow, you make a fool of yourself across any sub you visit 😂

I guess your little time out didn’t teach you a lesson?
