Would you call almost all diets except vegetarian being an omnivore (including most people I know that label themselves as carnivores)?
If you're eating veggies, meat, and animal products, I would consider you an omnivore
No disagreement on what an omnivore is
To be more clear: For these other diets would you chastise people for using another label and make pithy comments that they should be saying omnivore instead? If so then carry on I guess, but it seems to be throwing away information and being confrontational simply to sound clever. And if not, why / reevaluate?
Someone who is on the fad "carnivore diet" and who is also eating vegetables is actually on the "omnivore diet"
