When I say eat what your ancient ancestors ate I don’t intend for say someone who’s ancestors who ate whale meat and blubber to try to find and eat that exact same food. Instead what I’m suggesting is that we eat the same proportions of protein, fat and carbohydrates in our diets as each of our ancient ancestors did. You could also seek out the closest analogue to the traditional foods that is available.
I wholeheartedly applaud anyone who is attempting to make positive changes in their lives for the betterment of themselves and our world. I am also not in any sense “pro-meat”. As I said to someone on an Internet forum recently, if I am to be called anything it would be pro-balance.
In the end the ultimate purpose of this article is to present you with some information you may not be aware of. I ask that you please set aside for a moment any emotional investment your ego might have in your ideas regarding meat. Holding onto beliefs in the face of information you may not have previously been aware of is dogmatic. If this describes you, then unfortunately, this article may not be for you, quite simply because you’ve checked your intelligence at the door. In this article I’m far from asking you to agree with what I have to say. All I ask is that you be prepared to consider the information with an open mind.
