A hypocarnivore is an animal that consumes less than 30% meat for its diet, the majority of which consists of fungi, fruits, and other plant material.

A hypercarnivore eats >= 70% of their diet from meat.
The consequence of this is that the vast majority of people eating the standard diet are hypocarnivores. Eating a 70% plant based diet. I would argue this makes them hyper-vegetarians (to extend the nomenclature)
Thus thanks to processed food being mostly plant based, the vilification of animal based foods, the average joe walking around the street is a hyper-vegetarian by default.
the share of calories from animal- and plant-based foods was … 30 percent and 70 percent, respectively USDA 2016
