I don't think that anyone is saying that MEAT IS BAD. Just that an excess of industrially produced meat is bad. (As in the example at the start of this thread. Which wasn't even supposed to be about agriculture/obesity/meat vs veggie etc!)

Mostly vegetables, rice, past, eggs and sometimes a bit of fish on Friday. 
Unfortunately wild reindeer isn’t wasn’t available. 

All of that wasn't available consistently for humans 10,000 years ago. Unless we all lived in Equatorial regions.

 

Did you grow up in a Hippy colony?

Was you Father called Neil?

You can’t even have a discussion about the modern meat industry without someone going in the attack, usually attacking some imaginary vegan who doesn’t even exist.

Militant Meat eaters who have swallowed decades of meat industry propaganda, who’s conscience is pricked and go on the defensive. It always seems to be worse with people who don’t hunt, hunters generally get it.

I am a hunter and farmer, so not really sure what propaganda I'm listening to.

Some people who eat meat every day often  seem to be fussy eaters who only like plain food.

 

Meat & 2 boiled vegs etc is ok but gets old every day.

 

 

But on the other hand you get vegans who seem to mostly eat  a load  fake meat rubbish & quorn & don't cook much veg recipes.

 

 

I have l veg plot so a  chest freezer full of runner beans french beans broad beans & tomatoes& other vegs. Bit sick of the beans but beans always are so productive and the crop never fails. Im sure alot of tradition diets worldwide were heavy on the beans. Broad beans  grown in UK in since iron age yet Lidl don't sell them theyprobaby do in Waitrose?. Runner bean has to be possibly the most productive crop that exists per land area? Grew a shit load of butternut sqaush also so being having squash soup all the time this winter.

 

Bags of spuds to use up before they sprout & shed full of stored apples.

 

 

Use to have the freezer full of lamb as well before the local home kill butcher got run over now don't keep sheep anymore.

Why, was there a famine on all other edible foods for thousands of years except meat in the paleolithic age?

At times of the year, yes. Berries and fruit etc are seasonal. What else were they eating in the winter?

 

Fruit and veg isn't (should say wasn't) nutrient dense enough to sustain people. The vast majority of our food was meat.
