Again, the argument is pretty pointless. There is plenty of evidence now that eating excess meat is harmful to health, no matter what we evolved eating. |
Thanks a lot for the link. It may well be that tubers had an important part in the human diet, too. We certainly can ingest starches when properly cooked. However, the negative effects of lectins from potatoes on humans does shed some doubt on this theory.
I would really like to see any evidence that eating excess meat is harmful to health. Most of it is about saturated fat and cholesterol being bad, which is
nonsense. The rest is about the way we raise meat, which actually sucks, but can be avoided by eating organic grass-fed beef.
But I'm willing to learn. You found one cool link, maybe you have another one.
