In fact, no carnivore that I know of eats NO plant matter.
Most eat quite a lot, in the form of half digested stuff in
the guts of their prey. Why humans should be any
different...? I have never heard of an experiment where an
animal was fed only animal foods, excluding all plant foods.
I suspect they at the very least would find reproduction
difficult, even if they managed to survive themselves.
