I'm just sayin'
“Scientists slam the Caveman Diet”
Got to keep their masters in Big Pharma happy...
Didn’t live too long did they?
Yeah, well, we managed to hunt mammoths and other fauna to extinction, so we *clearly* weren’t eating just salads...
I am sure cavemen wanted to eat meat—the hard part was obtaining it.
if they couldnt kill something
yes they had a salad
Simple tests on bones, especially teeth, can tell them what that person ate. So this is just woke stuff.
another fake studly design to get you to eat plant an bugs as food.
If we ate just plants, why are we ‘evolved’ to eat meat? Where else can people find the necessary nutrients and protein? Certainly not plants.
Man found fire. The start of barbecue began.
Highly misleading. Ancient man gathered SMALL amounts of acorns and aquatic plants. Thhe former are indihestible in any sofnificant amount and the latter arent common. You had to live. near a coastline with plant life. Legumes and cereals from where? These are agrocultiral products, pre caveman. hard to access and cannot be digested without cooking. Some legumes would even be poisonous raw.
The real takeaway is here yeah plant foods IN SMALL AMOUNTS. Meat being the most inportant food for protein and possibly even calories.
Any Bible believer could tell you the first humans were vegetarians.
Is a "mostly vegetarian" who eats meat a vegetarian? Nope. An omnivore.
The bride and I are certainly omnivores, to include adult beverages of various sorts, even though "scientists say" stuff. We enjoy meats as well, and yet we are not "paleo" anything....
It’s easy to see why cavemen didn’t eat a lot of meat...those big creatures were hard to catch and hard to kill. Add to that the whole fire issue for cooking.
Scavenging for nuts and berries all day every day forever is an activity that few men would adopt but women would, picking and talking, carrying their babies.
Men want to do fewer of bigger, more important actions, hunting and bringing in a generous portion of high quality food that satisfies everyone and wins admiration for the skills involved, while also offering chances of dangers and adventures and challenges to be overcome that lead to tales that need to be told, suits the male creature.
Our closest living relatives - chimps - are omnivores and relish meat when they can get it. Humans were (and are) far more efficient hunters than chimps, even armed with primitive tools - if you expect me to believe that early humans did not eat substantial amounts of meat, I don’t.
Maybe in the south...
That phrase almost always precedes a massive load of bovine excrement.
When your job is to survive in that age, you have to seek food almost 24x7. At that, you’re bound to run into fruits, veg and nuts. And early hominids didn’t have to carve out time in their day to exercise. Survival was tough. Chasing down game is plenty good enough.
We were opportunists. Whatever we could find, dig up, catch and kill, we ate.
That being said. I adopted that “paleo diet” and dropped near 40 lbs and have kept it off.
All those cave drawings of salads prove that, right?
