Pardon me, we are omnivores, we have always been omnivores and I intend to stay that way.

Horses, cattle, sheep, all have incisors, canines, and premolars. Their teeth are remarkably, astonishingly like ours. Incisors, canines, and premolars are used for cutting, tearing, and mashing (prior to grinding) ... of virtually any foodstuff, plants included.
We are obviously capable of being omnivores, but the question is not whether we can, but what we ought.
On that, the science is in.
