Why do people keep forgetting the third option? People aren't genetically carnivores or herbivores - we're omnivores: able to eat whatever's available.

And even [b]three[/]b options is a simplification; there's a whole spectrum of options within 'omnivorous' (from almost carnivorous to almost herbivorous); or for that matter within herbivorous (just grass? primarily fruits? etc.).

Let's not fall into the trap of "either/or" thinking...
