0010642: Grazers are omnivorous while [BONECARN] are restricted
Creatures that are generally considered omnivorous do not have specific tags that permit them to eat only certain classes of things

However [BONECARN] like goblins specifically cannot eat prepared foods that are plant based without being mixed in with meat, or neither eat some secondary ingredients inedible by themselves like eggs without meat being added at some stage.

Contrarily creatures like pandas, panda men & grazer animals/men variants can eat meat biscuits freely to refill their hunger, bypassing their grazing or implied vegan/vegetarianism.
For grazers: push grazing animals inside a cage to starve and make biscuits out of the entrails of your starting pair of hauling animals, move biscuit stockpile into a burrow over the cage and assign a animal caretaker to feed the animals the biscuits from inside the burrow.

For bonecarn: Bring enough meat & poultry to conduct the test and establish a test-fortress. Mod dwarves to be [BONE_CARN] and have them prepare meals from eggs & meals from eggs & meat combined via different kitchen workstations and stockpiles.

Pure egg only foodstuffs will be untouched for consumption.
Feeding a cow, cow meat biscuits does not constitute the spread of BSE and upsetting the EETA (elves for the ethical treatment of animals) but this makes embarks where you feed grazers on animal derived biscuits considerably harder with a fix to make [GRAZERS] herbivorous ideally.

Could easily be detracted into smaller minor bugs like egg shells representing the egg object being inedible but the contents of yolk and white are completely edible just unobtainable.
No tags attached.
