The body only cares about getting the nutrition. It doesn’t care about the source. It certainly would have been less work to grow a plant than to traverse hundreds of miles to capture a deer.
The only disadvantage of eating plants is that they are light in calories, so you will have to eat a lot more often to obtain the necessary calories.

how about protein??
“The only disadvantage of eating plants is that they are light in calories”
The protein s of lower quality and our bodies tend to crave fat. The sort of plants available back then aren’t what we find in supermarkets and they weren’t available year round. No means to can or jar them 9,000 years ago.
People ate plants then like coyotes do now: If you couldn’t get enough meat, you also ate plants. Plants are what fill you up if that is all you can get. Totally different from people pushing plants as primary year round.
