    I depended on the climate.
    People in northern climates ate too much meat and not enough veggies and dealt with things like scurvy.
    And people in tropical climates ate only fruit and veggies and were protein deficient and a lot became cannibals..

    Now, it depends on geography. People in different areas have evolved and adapted to different diets. So it really doesn't matter what the first humans ate. That's no longer "mans natural diet". Check out "In Defense of Food"; it's pretty interesting.

    fruites and nuts
    our natural diet..all natural diets ARE UNCOOKED we cannot and never have been able to eat raw meats so meats must have a unnatureal process ..cooking..applied to them to make them edible

    the human natural diets consisted of fruites nuts, veggies, some roots ..grains

    it wasnt untill we adopted unnatural diets that we started eatting fishes and meats

    What about people living the far north? There's no way they ever lived on plants, cause nothing grows there. They're perfectly healthy living almost exclusively on meat/fish.

    Most all of the indigenous people ate meat and in the north most of their diet was meat.
    How is meat unnatural?
    Being a vegetarian is the most unnatural diet you can have.
    In most of the world a vegetarian has to depend on Diesel oil and combustible engines to get their diet. That is unnatural!!!

    without unnatureal means thgey woulkdnt live there period
    without fire and clothing they couldnt cook the food they coiuldnt survive at all

    we left the natureal diet before we left the cave

    intestines, human intestines cannot digest meat properly , never were meant to
    our teeth cannot chew through raw meat
    raw meat diets would kill us

    vegatarian diets are our natural diet
    no 2 ways aboutr it
    raw veggie diets specificly

    its what our systems were designed for

    as aposed to bullets and chainsaws and slaughterhouses?

    natural diets u eat whats around ya theres leaves on every tree outside not all are edible but some are
    the weeds u step on..edible, no need for deisel to pick the plant between your toes

    do you find animals willing to let you take a bite out of them everywhere you go?

    try thinking before you argue

    last word on natural human diets

    look at the progression

    earliest humans were gatherers
    they gathererd fruites anbd nuts and grains without cultivation or tools of any kind
    that was our natural diet..its what we were meant to eat, and its what these aposable thumbs came in handy for

    then camne agriculture..farming
    still 100% vegatarian just more able to feed larger populations

    somewhere along the line came fire..allowing cooking
    opening the abilkity to eat some touygher roots

    eventualy along came tools and weapons of violence
    and it was this ability to violently kill thaty added meat to the diets and allowed some tribes to roam into areas where very lil vegatation existed

    for the 1st humans to even begin eatting cooked meat though theyd have to be facing starvation
    theyre intestines just were not designed for it and eatting meat would make them incredibly sichk at 1st
    ovber timer we were able to adjust to it in our diets only if our partents also had it as part of theyre diets
    othgerwise we'd experience the same sickness and fever the 1st to eat meayt must have suffered

    if you dont believe meat is unatural then just stop eatting it awhile..2 years about then try eatting it
    yopur body rejects it like a poision
    because..it is
    its a posion to you unless you build up a resistence

    some ppl have built up a resistence to a diet of axel grease are you going to say cause some dude eats axel grease its a natural part of all humans diets?

    humans are resilient though we can live far far outside our natural diets
    we can pump ourselves full of chemicals and toxins and survive

    but it aint natural

    our natural diet is raw its fruits and nuts and veggies and grains

    theres a couple i saw who lived stricktly on mega vitamins..no food, just huge doses of votamins..you can survive on very unatural diets

    but that dont make em your natural..or best diets

    probly most natural would be raw foods or macrobiotic or combo of the 2
    or most likely the earliest man were fruitarian and ate only what wouldnt kill the plant source and live off what was to be found in a few miles at most
    so macrobiotic fruitarian well no i supose roots woulda been the long winters sources

    u cannot say something is natural to eat unless u can eat it...unprocessed in its natural state

    all veggies can be eatten raw..cleaned outta the ground iif u want..you cant just dig your teeth into any animal and eat it

    its not natural to the animal (us) to barbaricly attack an animal with our teeth and devour it

    eatting it processed
    causes alot of anger and agression
    bloodlust if u will
    the world originaly started to go wrong at the day we found fire and strayed off our natural diet
    first wars were soon to follow i bet

    People have been rising animals and hunting long before chainsaws and bullets. People have raised and hunted animals for thousands of years. Most all Northern Vegetarian cultures have been around for less then 100 years most of you guys only survive from modern consumer society and global marketing. If gas runs out no more vegetarian diet for 90% of vegetarians. You are living on a consumer fad, how natural is a consumer fad?
    Modern society and gas is a convince to a meat eater with out it we would just go back to how we did things 150 years ago.
    Without gas and global economy 90% of vegetarians would have to go back to a Natural meat based diet.
    You are living a consumer fad it has no roots it can’t survive without diesel gas. Only in very rare places Close to the equator and those places won’t support more then a fraction of a percent of the world population.

    You talk of these imaginary people that run around and live from nuts and fruit is this in the Garden of Eden? Can you be a little more specific?

    Most recorded cultures have survived with hunting animals and raising animals I am interested in hearing about these cultures you talk about.

    Do you live from picking plants between your toes? I seriously doubt it


    I was trying to have a discussion and learn and discuss a few things about early humans diets. Maybe you should do a little thinking before you just regurgitate a bunch of vegetarian propaganda. You are sounding like a religious zealot justifying their supreme ego by imaginary facts.

    You talk about the human body not being designed for meat? This seems very false humans have been living from meat for thousands and thousands of years. Meat eaters are very healthy they are to Olympic athletes have long life spans ect.
    I am interested in hearing of all these cultures that have been living a vegetarian lifes for thousands of years and are designed for it. Can you tell us more about it? Or is it just a myth

    We probably just ate what we could find. Mainly insects and edible greenery, berries, etc...

    I think it's interesting when people argue that it's not natural to eat meat because we don't have fangs. We don't need fangs... we have opposable thumbs that rip things apart more efficiently than our teeth ever could.

    its truth
    meat is not digestible by human intestines alone
    bacteria must be pressent to break the meat down 1st...rot it if you will
    and all meat eatters carry around 10 -25 pounds of rotting meat in theyre intestines that never go away

    when you stop eatting meat the bacteria slowly dies off after a year to 2 years none are pressent and 1 single bite of meat causes a high fever..you reject it as a posion
    children of vegatarians who are raised veggie from birth never have that bacteria meat can be dangerouse to them althoug slowly introducing it over time hy an bgin digesting it after s ew month , if th fever isnt toohorrible
    ive been veggie 22 years..accidently e mea twice since and never ever felt so sick
    ive had a bone infection that neasrly killed me and that wasnt as unpleasnt s the sickness from 1 accidental bite of meat

    zigher please explain to every1 how we hunted and ate meat before tools and fire existed?

    we didnt
    we picked fruites and nuts

    that is our natural diet

    if it wasnt..if meat was our natural diet..wed have the teeth and claws to bite into and tear apart living flesh

    we dont

    you take a vid of yourself taking down a deer or hell a cow with nothing but bre hands and teeth then devouring it raw nd then i'll believe its our natural diet

    10-25 lbs of rotting meat that never goes away....where do you come up with this.. its comic gold

    i'm not even gonna bother with the rest. most of it lacks even a basic understanding of how the body works and digests food
