I found it highly interesting that their diet is very much a plant-based diet with high proportions of fruits, vegetables, and grains. Small amounts of fish throughout the week (for omega 3's) and less than 3-5% of their diet came from meat or eggs. Also no dairy. Human anatomy and digestive system also suggests that we evolved on a diet rich in fruits and vegetables similar to other primates. Like primates we may have eaten small amounts of animal flesh from time to time to supplement the diet or for survival purposes when supplies were low. Yet, most of the evidence seems to point to a plant-based diet for health and longevity.

Vegetarianism is truly a modern innovation by more modern civilizations. similar indigenous cultures include the Masai and the Kalahari bushmen, both are meat eaters.

I grew up a semi vegitarian and have a nutrition background. I have read numerous ideas and articles on vegitarianism, meat diets, fasting, raw, paleo, the most interesting being the RVAF, and just about anything you can think of. To say that a vegitarian diet is better is off base. The Eskimos of not to long ago before we brought them carbs were the one of the healthiest races. Thier diet consisted solely of raw meat and raw fat. They had straight brite white teeth, and suffered from no illnesses what so ever. The fact is, more vegitarians are nutrient deficient than meat eaters. Don't get me wrong. I respect Jason highly and think Mr Ferruggia is one of a small percent that knows his stuff and is a great advocate for a healthier life. Whether it be vegitarian or not. Just do your homework and decide for yourself. I am an advocate for fruits and veggies. I grew up a semi vegitarian and have a nutrition background.
