> It's pretty accurate to call humans omnivores.
As said: all primates are omnivores. And what you eat is up to you. But biologically we are very close GI-wise to the "frugavorian omnivore" primates mentioned.
> Humans aren't specialized for eating plants and especially not green leaves. That requires a wholly different type of metabolism.
Where's your research? I mean we are not grass eaters, like cows. But we do really well on tender green leaves. If you dont eat tender green leaves 2x per day you are advised to take a magnesium supplement.
> Meanwhile a lot of humans have no trouble subsisting of just a carnivore diet without any negative symptoms.
Where's the long term research? Many claim this, but the populations that have many centenarians are not carnivores. Populations with really high meat intake (Inuit), do not get very old. Many biologists agree our intestine is too long (ans several other reasons I forgot). You seem to have no case here.
Are you sure you are not falling for the diet fad wrt carnivoreism?
