Probably. It always amuses me that people automatically associate "paleo" with "eating mammoths every day", when a simple glance to other primates shows a heavily plant-based diet, on top of which, how many mammoths do they think our ancient ancestors were killing? Even well into the 20th century, meat was not an everyday food, and it's completely unnecessary (some argue harmful) to the human diet.
Books like "How Not to Die" opened my eyes.

That's basically the approach my wife and I are taking: 95% plant-based. We have meat maybe twice a month (as a treat). Not only do we feel healthier, it's also so cheap.

- alphanumeric0 5y agoIf you read the article the man went several days without meat in the tundra. I'd imagine there are very few plants to gather in the winter.
