omnivore diet
All-food eating pattern
An omnivore diet includes both plant and animal foods—meat, fish, vegetables, grains, fruits.
This is the default human eating pattern across most cultures, distinguishing it from vegetarian or carnivore diets.
The term appears in nutrition discussions contrasting dietary philosophies: I've tried keto and vegan, but I always come back to an omnivore diet.
