i do think mers would eat some meat, because though you can get everything you need from veggies, you have to search carefully for the RIGHT veggies, which is probably why humans are omnivorous-- we did not always have the luxury of carefully examining a dozen items to make sure we would get our proper protein, B12, etc. scavengers just aren't that lucky!
When I was on a clean, veggie diet I got bruises all over my legs because I wasn't eating enough variety for my body to get its nutrients (I was eating mostly granola and some fruit because I am too lazy to cook). When I eat meat I may not be putting the healthiest stuff in my body, but I can count in never getting those bruises. Petsonally i am just too lazy to think that much about what i should eat, so i stick with a mix of everything. (Note that I'm Not saying that this is best just that I'm really lazy!!!)
On that line of thinking, Whether or not mers are vegetarians (if their systems are like ours) might have to do with the kinds of plants that grow in the area where they are from and if their bodies can easily get what they need from those plants without having a "grocery store" setting. Overall though, I am with Pearlie--as long as I got me some cake, I'm good.
