    Bad spelling is a side effect of a low bacon diet.

    Have to agree eating current meat is unhealthy. With all growth hormones, antibiotics, etc It has 660 times more fat then wild game. But then again, how healthy are the vegetables and fruits we eat?

    On defense side there is evidence that paleolithic people ate "fattier" parts, internal organs, brains, etc, and would discard harder to chew/process muscles so it is not that we were not getting needed fat calories.

    by the way on plant side they did not eat any grains, only nuts and berries, and occasional fruits.

    with respect to eating largely plant-based diet, "diet among modern hunter-gatherer societies is estimated to consist of 64–68% of animal calories and 32–36% of plant calories". There isn't any evidence it was different back then.

    Here is some more info on [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleolithic_diet"]Paleolithic diet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame] take a look
