	Michael Pollan - The Omnivore's Dilemma
		The omnivore’s dilemma has returned with a vengeance, as the cornucopia of the modern American supermarket and fast-food outlet confronts us with a bewildering and treacherous food landscape.
		In this groundbreaking book, one of America’s most fascinating, original, and elegant writers turns his own omnivorous mind to the seemingly straightforward question of what we should have for dinner.
		To find out, Pollan follows each of the food chains that sustain us—industrial food, organic or alternative food, and food we forage ourselves—from the source to a final meal, and in the process develops a definitive account of the American way of eating.

	Omnivore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An omnivore (from Latin: omnis all; vorare to devour) is an animal that eats both plants and meat.
		Omnivores lack the specialist behaviour of carnivores and herbivores, searching widely for food sources, and are thus better able to withstand changes within their ecological niche.
		The digestive systems of omnivores reflect their versatility: they are able to digest the cellulose of plants in the manner of herbivores but also readily assimilate protein and other nutrients from meat [1].

	Humans are Omnivores -- The Vegetarian Resource Group
		In fact we are omnivores, capable of either eating meat or plant foods.

		The short canines in humans are a functional consequence of the enlarged cranium and associated reduction of the size of the jaws.

	Sappho's Breathing: The ethical omnivore
		An ethical omnivore is someone who eats animals as well as plants, with the qualification that the food be humanely raised and not endangered.
		The word omnivore in the scientific sense means something that eats both meat and vegetables in relatively equal proportions, but the word omni implies everything.
		For example, if an omnivore weren't careful enough in being aware about the relative abundance of certain foods, than continuing to eat it could lead to one or even many species' extinction.

	The Comparative Anatomy of Eating (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		While most humans are clearly “behavioral” omnivores, the question still remains as to whether humans are anatomically suited for a diet that includes animal as well as plant foods.
		Thus, an omnivore might be expected to be a carnivore which shows some gastrointestinal tract adaptations to an herbivorous diet.
		Thus, from comparing the gastrointestinal tract of humans to that of carnivores, herbivores and omnivores we must conclude that humankind's GI tract is designed for a purely plant-food diet.

	Gut Morphology--Conclusion / Clarifying 'Omnivore' vs 'Faunivore'
		The most common usage of the term omnivore is to indicate an animal that includes foods from more than one trophic level in its diet, which is usually interpreted to mean an animal that eats both plant and animal foods.
		Milton [1987] goes on to note that the term omnivore is vague as there is substantial variability in the foods omnivores eat, and the term is not linked to gut morphology.
		Hence the meaning of a statment like "chimps are omnivores" or "humans are omnivores" is clear, i.e., the natural diet of humans and chimps includes both animal and plant foods.

	Carnivore/ Omnivore Surveillance Report (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Wildlife species selected for inclusion in the study (which is ongoing) are those carnivorous or omnivorous mammalian species present in the area where deer have been found with bovine TB and whose population density is sufficient to allow collection.
		To date, 750 carnivorous or omnivorous animals have been tested with eight coyotes, two raccoons, one fl bear, two bobcats, one red fox, and two opossums found infected with the bovine TB organism (Mycobacterium bovis).
		In cases with visible lesions, such as the bobcat, tuberculosis is thought to be most often a chronic disease characterized by fibrous encapsulation suggesting that carnivores and omnivores are relatively resistant to tuberculosis.

	Which Omnivore Diet? The "Omnivorism = Western Diet" Fallacy
		Ironically, this nearly omnipresent fallacy (in the vegan community) seems to be widespread even among those for whom clinical research is the "gold standard," and among whom proper epidemiological protocols are fine points of discussion.

	Still an omnivore? You´re kidding, right? - VeggieBoards
		I think most of us here operate under the definitions that an omnivore is a creature who eats both plant and animal foods, and a vegetarian is a creature who doesn´t eat animal flesh.
		There are two kinds of omnivores: those who because of their physiology are able to eat, and those whose diet is something.
		I'm omnivore according to the former definition but not omnivore according to the latter.

	The human "omnivore" - a mythological beast. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		If the human "is" a natural omnivore, then we should have ALL the physical and biochemical equipment that is NECESSARY to run down, kill with our bare hands, tear asunder, eat, and properly digest, RAW animal prey, just as ALL natural omnivores, or carnivores, do.
		This site is produced by a crackpot who, apparently failing in his personal efforts to become a raw-fooder, has stolen the title of one of my articles for his web domain name, and has gone on a rampage to attempt to discredit plant-based diets in general by applied pseudo-science.
		Not surprisingly, all such claims as to the unsupported human 'evolution' from frugivores to omnivores conveniently do not mention the fact that neither the necessary sharp tools (teeth, claws), digestive biochemistry, fleetness of foot, nor animal-killing instincts have co-evolved with the alleged 'evolution' to omnivore.

	The Omnivore - Learning to eat everything. By Jeffrey Steingarten
		The nifty thing about being omnivores is that we can take nourishment from an endless variety of sources and easily adapt to a changing food world—crop failures, droughts, herd migrations, restaurant closings, and the like.
		The reason is that omnivores are born with neophobia, a fear of new foods that accompanies our biological need to explore for them—an ambivalence that protects us from unbridled banqueting.
		And then I would sit back and sagely listen to a neurotic jumble of excuses and explanations: the advice from her personal trainer, her intolerance to wheat gluten, a pathetic faith in Dean Ornish, the exquisite--even painful--sensitivity of her taste buds, hints of childhood abuse.

	Amazon.com: Orn: Books: Piers Anthony (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The first book in the set, Omnivore, introduces both the three main human characters, Cal, Veg, and Aquilon, and a set of rather unique beings, the mantas, who are intelligent, single footed, one-eyed, and members of the fungoid family.
		The interactions between all of these beings is properly driven by each being's character, from Veg as a confirmed vegetarian to Cal's emphasis on logic and survival of the fittest, and only near the end of the book does it take on larger aspects as the Earth authorities try to exert control over the group.
		Thematically, this book is a further investigation, which was started in Omnivore, into the morality of killing others to ensure your own survival, here looked at both from the point of view of evolutionary demands and on the individual level, from herbivore to omnivore.
