We probably didn't eat meat in abundance tho.

There's a difference between picking off a squirrel or trapping a boar once in a while, vs the endless conveyor belt of chickens that we have now. So I don't think there's really a history of using meat as a staple like people do today.

Seems more likely that you'd lean on fruits and nettles and seeds and nuts and things like that -- once you find a source, it's pretty reliable, whereas hunting animals is more a crapshoot.

It's possible for one thing (meats) to be more easily processed and digested by our body than the other (grains). I'd agree that's probably true. But then when you get into the territory of eating it in excess as a staple (for longer than we ever lived back then), it's a different question, and meat being easily processed and handled doesn't mean it isn't worse longterm for disease and health issues.

Ethical considerations aside, I don't think hunting your prey and eating it with lots of greens and fruits etc would be bad for you at all.

But often when people talk about this natural diet, they're actually eating factory meat, and probably eating it far in excess of what our ancestors were able to hunt.

Factory meat, besides the hormones and blahblah that I'm sure you don't like either.. will also have fear and stress. It seems so much worse to me to basically deny the animal a normal life in the environment he wants to live in. (When you kill a wild animal at least he had a fine life up until that point.)

I know it sounds kind of funny and pseudo science.. but I don't think the universe lets us get away with things. So if you cause this fear and stress, and then consume it, I think you're consuming fear and stress in one way or another.

Tldr: Probably agree grains don't digest so well, but I don't think they cause longterm chronic issues in the way meat can.
