Humans by design are 'omnivores' meaning we eat almost anything. In fact humans are the only animal on earth that regularly eats makes a food source form ALL other species. You name it, somebody, somewhere eats it. Anyway the human mouth has teeth for cutting (the incisors), teeth for tearing (the canines) and teeth for grinding (the molars) Pure vegetarian animals only have molars, and pure carnivores have mostly canines (for catching and for eating). We are best set up for chewing softer foods such as vegetarians eat, but being human we learned to cook to soften meat, and we use clubs and spears instead of our mouths to catch dinner.

Yes, human beings have teeth for almost everything. Ofcourse because they are meant for everything they aren't really great for any one type of food.
