We eat like 2 plants. One is brassica mentioned above.

The other one is nightshade. In the nightshade family we find tomatos, aubergine, tobacco, peppers, physalis, potatoes and of course the extremely toxic bella-donna (deadly nightshade)

We also eat like two animals, sea insects and variants of dog

Just a small correction: you missed an "a" in bella-donna (bella donna means "beautiful woman" in Italian)

I very much did!

Doesn't sound like a complete diet

"like" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there

to make the list a bit more complete there's also the rose plants (rosebuds, apples, plums, basically all the nice sweet fruits growing on trees and bushes), legumes, and of course grasses (basically all the grains are some form of grass seeds)
