Whenever they did not get grubs, insects or any other animal to eat I suppose they switched to a vegetarian diet of fruits, leaves, nuts and what not. However they do not buy or choose food off the shelves of a supermarket and so they cannot be too choosy.

Such preferences can only be made in a society that has a large ammount of choice on what to eat. We in the west are the first generations in existence to experience such variety. Most aboriginal peoples do not have that ammount of choice so the proteins and carbohydrates come from whatever source they can come from. It has been suggested that the lack of available proteins in the native Guinean diets and mesoamerican diets is one of the contributing reasons to occasional cannibalism.

Not at all...
Most Aboriginals are Blood Type "O", Hunter/Gatherers...
This means they are omniverous (they can eat anything natural), though are less acclimated to eating breads or dairy, since they don't farm, and are not herders of livestock!

All Aboriginal diets were determined by what was available. I've never read about any who didn't eat small animals , grubs , worms ,fish , etc .

most aboriginal peoples are hunter gathers which means if you can eat it they will which rules out vegetarians.
