    We ate a lot more meat. The modern American diet pyramid puts plant matter at the base, while historically meat was at the base. The longest living and healthiest populations today eat a lot of meat, up to 99% of their diet.

      What do you mean by this? Do you mean like the people living in the so called Blue Zones?

      Eat mostly plants, especially beans. And eat meat rarely, in small portions of 3 to 4 ounces. Blue Zoners eat portions this size just five times a month, on average.

        Gotta love that vegan propaganda! Have you ever seen Ikaria? They don’t grow shit there as the island is just one big mountain. Their main food is sea food and dairy. And stop with Okinawa already! It has been debunked by Okinawans themselves - their main food is pork. Okinawa is the biggest consumer of pork in the whole of Japan.
