I'm about as close to carnivorous as a human can get, though I also like grain and potato products. I like a few kinds of veggies--corn, carrots--but not enough to go out of my way to get them. Anything green makes me ill (not literally). Most sugary foods are not to my taste, though I like ice cream, some fruit flavored candies, and especially chocolate.

Mabus, funny you should mention anything green making you ill (well, it's only figuratively in your case...). I have an uncle who can't eat unripe fruit, it makes him sick. He also gets toothaches from touching leather (?!?), they're not related, but they're both pretty weird allergies...

MEEEEEEAAAATTTTT!!!!! Also vegetables. Some bread, but mostly when I can't find meat or when I need something filling. Veggies are rarely filling, meat sometimes isn't. I like rice best, but my eating habits are sparse and weird. When I can get it, I eat meat so much that it sometimes hurts my digestion.

Oh, I forgot to mention seafood. I absolutely love seafood. If it lived in the water, I'll eat it. I love Japanese sushi-type seaweed enough to eat it by itself, and I can't get enough calamari or dried cuttlefish. I've yet to encounter a food fish that I don't like, and even though I never eat land bugs of any kind, I will always eat a sea bug. (By 'sea bug', I mean lobster, shrimp, etc. You did know that those are basically just bugs, right?)

2. I'm a really picky eater, though I will eat most desserts. I love to eat pasta, lots and lots of pasta. Raw meat grosses me out, and I'm really picky about the meat I'll eat. It has to be cooked just right; if I don't think it's cooked enough, I can't eat it (same for eggs). I mostly like chicken, ground beef, and corned beef. I also like cheese, goldfish, and my favorite veggie is brocoli. I don't like oriental or seafood, either.

There aren't many foods that I DON'T like -- I eat most foods. I have to watch or I will go overboard on the carbs (carb-craving) and I have low blood sugar..

(I guess I really didn't fully answer the question of the original post. I consider myself omnivorous -- pretty balanced. I love vegies & fruits, but like most meat too. I love fish, but NOT seafood (like shrimp, lobster, etc.) And I like ice cream way too much.)
I'm hypoglycemic, so a surfeit of sugar is bad for me. I love meat and potatoes. I love vegetables. I adore seafood (it's very Sensual!). I like food in general, which is good because according to my doctor, I should eat every 4 hours.
I have read theories that it's best to eat according to your ancestry - for instance, if your ancestors came from a place where fish were a staple, then you will benefit from eating a lot of fish. If they came from a place where dairy was not eaten, you might want to avoid dairy products. I wonder about the validity of this idea.

Jenny, there are some cases where that's true--mostly involving food intolerances. For instance, people who are lactose tolerant tend to have ancestors from Northern Europe (and possibly other areas where food is scarce--I'm not sure), where milk was a needed food source and getting ill from dairy products made it more difficult to survive. Aside from those, I'm not sure the theory is legit.
