I’m talking about before we figured out we could grow vegetables and fruits. Early humans are often shown as being fit and in shape, yet our diet pretty much only consisted of meat. We were hunters. So why the hell were they so fit? I thought a healthy diet mattered more than just being active constantly?

I mean, you gotta understand that we worked hard as fuck for our food. We ran that shit down for miles after miles and did lots of physical labor.

So, even if our diet was mostly meat, that didn't mean we were unhealthy or fat. You can eat straight meat and be fit. You need the protein in the first place.

Yup, that is my understanding. Constantly on the move, working hard, and eat lean meats since the animals were wild game not factory fattened.
