The more I think about it, the more annoyed I get at this completely unsupported assumption, taken as OBVIOUS, that eating only meat leads to constipation. Not only does eating only meat lead to the smoothest bowel movements you've ever experienced, but it also dramatically improves musculature, skin & hair, mood, sleep, and overall physical fitness. Incidentally, it is impossible to get diabetes on a meat-only diet. In fact, we evolved on a meat-only diet for hundreds of thousands of years (with a berry here and there).
- IntrepidWorm 5y agoCalling it a berry here or there seems to be downplaying ancient hominid diets. We lost the ability to produce our own vitamin C quite early on due to our subsistance on fruits, nuts, and vegetables foraged from the surrounding land. Hunting is a high-stakes calorie game, which foraging supports.
- samatman 5y agoAnyone eating a diet mainly of meat they have hunted will have more than enough vitamins from the meat. Particularly the organs, particularly the liver. The entire old-world primate order lost vitamin C synthesis, and that common ancestor was arboreal and a foot tall. Our genus has primarily subsisted on hunted meat for the entire period between adopting bipedalism and getting forced into growing crops (if you like this stuff, Against The Grain is a great read).
