Are you a believer to the idea that ceratopsians were omnivorous? If so, why?

I believe that the evidence is convincing, however I don't 100% believe it. I need some more evidence.

One of the things they use as evidence is that the parrot like beak is good for eating meat. I would guess so too, but they would IMO, be a little better at cropping grass.

I say when food is rare ( plants) they might go eat some meat. Also look at the beak, it looks like it can slice through meat with ease.....

I don't see any reason why they couldn't be. To be honest it seems like everyone insisting they didn't is just doing so because of a "muh childhood" thing.

Personally I hold to the theory of them functionally being the boars of their time. Huge, not many predators, hard to kill, god help you if you piss one off, and eats literally everything.
