I find it quite interesting that most of the evolutionary diet
posts on here are justifications for eating more meat. Are
people really claiming that our ancestors did not eat
significant amounts of fruits and veggies also? Many fruits are
excellent sources of several vitamins and minerals. So why the
over-emphasis on meat? This hardly seems scientific.
