An interesting and relevant article: PaleoVeganology: Whatever Happened To Omnivora?

Quote:
So, what's this mean, bottom-line-wise, to the whole vegan-vs.-omni argument? There are two basic approaches we could take, but both end up at the same place.

One is to point out that almost all mammals are in some sense "omnivorous." The other is to point out that "omnivore" isn't a scientific term any more, and therefore isn't terribly useful. Both approaches stem from the fact that there's really no clear-cut dividing line between an "herbivore" and an "omnivore." In a real sense, the whole argument we've been having is irrelevant.
