I’m talking about before we figured out we could grow vegetables and fruits. Early humans are often shown as being fit and in shape, yet our diet pretty much only consisted of meat. We were hunters. So why the hell were they so fit? I thought a healthy diet mattered more than just being active constantly?

    Also not an expert but we weren’t just hunters, we were hunter gatherers. One group hunted animals while the other group would pick wild berries, fruit, wild vegetables or whatever other edible plants they could find. Not to mention what the other person said about animals with a balanced diet having much healthier meat than the factory farmed animals of today.

      The diets of most hunter gatherer tribes today are only about 30% meat. It was probably the same back then.
