It's also a myth that the hunter-gathers ate unlimited amounts of protein. If so, why were they called 'hunter-gatherers'?? They had to hunt and go in search of their protein (involved LOTS of exercise). And they migrated all over the world in search of it. Suggests such protein was in limited supply???? The rest of the time their diet was based on what they could find - nuts, seeds, fruit, veggies, roots, tubers, whole grains.
Sounds like you and I have some of the same books!!!
THE CAMBRIDGE WORLD HISTORY OF FOOD, Vol. 1 and 2.....
A MUST have!!!!
I might add that it wasn't until we started growing crops did we come to realize we could domesticate animals and eventually use them as a protein source. When agriculture began, it attracted large animals that came to feed on those crops. They stayed...we kept them, used them and ate them. Bingo, now we had a lazy man's easy source of protein to subsequently, in the long haul, make us all eating MORE meat than we should. You're right Shells, eating lowest on the food chain IS the healthiest................we are evolutionarily programmed to do so.
Lovin' being an Atkins "reject"....
