I didn't say "only" food source - I said "primarily" which obviously is not
an exclusive term, and I also mentioned we could eat animal/insect life.

If aliens from outer space looked at us physiologically they would assume
that we ate vegetation - we definitely have the hardware to do so. They
could also (correctly) guess that we probably could eat meat as well (meat
being much easier to digest).
