Science & Eggs

A lot of childhood obesity can be attributed to processed foods, sugars, and little movement. Look at the nutritional value of a 10 piece nugget and fries and times that by about 3 since a lot of kids eat it 3 times a week. It's nothing but GMOs, chemicals, fillers, and hormones fried in fat. Tack on a large coke in there and you got a recipe for fatassness.

Meat and eggs are great for muscle, but you also need plenty of fruits and vegetables for nutrients that you can't get from meat to keep everything else in your body working.

I think you have a basic misunderstanding of food cycles.

The nutrients in a piece of meat are, in part, determined, by what the animal ate. There are human societies, both present and past, that have/had no access to fruits and vegetables. Think of places where the ground is frozen or barren. The nutrients they need come entirely from the animal flesh they consume.

Harvesting of fruits and vegetables in quantities large enough to feed large numbers of people is a modern practice. Not part of our biological history.

Meat contains no vitamin A, Vitamin K, Folate, and minimal vitamin E and Calcium. Just because you CAN survive off of nothing but meat doesn't mean its good for you to.

Also, im pretty sure the Native Americans were harvesting grains and vegetables LONG before europeans came to america.
Not to mention the Egyptians, early Europeans, Chinese, Japanese, etc. It is not a modern practice to farm grains and vegetables. Not sure where you got that notion from.

Hunter/Gathers also ate plants and vegetables. You are painting a really broad picture with a small brush focusing solely on groups that live in what i would estimate is less than 5% of the habitable land.

Your first statement is incorrect. Because animals eat things that contain those vitamins and minerals, they are present in the animal flesh.

Lots of human tribes and groups were harvesting grains and vegetables over the last 12,000 years. Before that, not much, and in the case of many primitives, not at all.

That some groups of people subsist entirely on animal flesh is evidence of adaption that occured long before humans were harvesting grains and vegetables. It's the model we all evolved from. Inuits, Masai, among others, stayed with that model.

If it seems a broad brush, it's because we ALL evolved from those common roots.

So exactly what do you consider modern practice if humans have been gathering plants and vegetables for 12000 years?
I dont recall ever hearing of tribes eating animal flesh because they used it for clothing and crafting. The only parts of the animal that would have any amount of worth while vitamins would be in organs like the liver and kidneys.
