I may be way to simplicistic, but "more vegetables and grains" than whom?:
>People from Europe, particularly its southern regions, are optimized for a high-plant diet. But people from other areas, such as the Inuit of Greenland, have a biochemistry that is better able to process lots of meat fat.
I would have guessed that what the Inuit people had available was ONLY meat (and meat fat) and fish with very, very little of any vegetable and that if they managed to survive they adapted to this diet.
On the other hand people from the south of Europe had - even before agriculture was developed - available every kind of wild vegetable and fruits.
