The Ancestral Diet: What it is, Benefits, and How to....

[Blues Man]

^ Some of these nutrients specific to meat include:

• Vitamin B12:liver, red meat, oysters, seafood. Essential for maintaining a healthy nervous system, the production of DNA and red blood cells, maintenance of cognitive function
• Choline: eggs, organ meats (beef liver, kidney), red meat, salmon roe, fish. Especially important for fertility–supports neurological development, fetal growth, and reduces risk of chronic diseases later in life [11]
• Vitamin K2: Goose and beef liver, pork chops, eggs, chicken wings, cheese. Unlocks potential of all other fat soluble vitamins. Supports heart health, bone health, prevents cancer. [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17]
• Preformed vitamin A (retinol): Duck liver, lamb liver, cheese, salmon roe. Essential for healthy immune function, vision, physical growth, and fertility. [18][19] [20] [21] [22]

Except the meat people eat today is nothing like the meat people ate 3 million years ago.

It's loaded with hormones and antibiotics and animals are fed diets that are nothing like the wild forage animals ate 3 million years ago. People do not eat the organ meats brains and eyeballs like people did 3 million years ago either.

Instead they eat overly fat cholesterol laden meats in portions that are enough to feed 3 people.

People 3 million years ago only ate eggs for a very short seasonal time when wild birds were laying eggs and only then if they could find them.

And no one ate cheese or drank animal milk 3 million years ago

Not even liver? Full of vitamin B.

Nope, nope, nope.....Don't you know what a liver is designed to do?

Pretty much anything out of the garden except potatoes.....Well not too many potatoes.

How did you cook your meat?

The lady at the market gave me a recipe.

Detox?

Oh yes they do.

Brains on toast made a tasty teatime meal for British people.

I saw dead camels’ heads, with the tongues hanging out, in the butchery section of a Berber market in Morocco, once.

I was assured they were delicious.

The exception is not the rule.

And the US is not Morocco.

In fact I'll wager that almost no meat eating Americans would never eat a camel tongue.

It’s not the centre of the world either.

I wouldn’t either.

Detox?

Yep, think about that.

Especially those who made a big deal of not cooking their meats to a proper internal temp.

My wife's uncle passed away from complications from eating deer liver that they suspect was not cooked properly (and likely diseased) and yeah he was one of those that always went on about eating rare meat.

I can't even fathom how contaminated commercially grown/processed liver might be....No thanks.

I wouldn’t either.

So you admit that you're not going to follow this "ancestral" diet?

The fact is it is impossible to follow because almost nothing people ate 3 million years ago is going to be available today

It’s merely an interpretation of it.

No need to be so literal.

Yeah there is.

There is no way anyone today can eat like a human did 3 million years ago.

Unless you live in the Amazon and have have never advanced beyond the hunter gatherer stage and also remained unfound by other people.

#.There is no way anyone today can eat like a human did 3 million years ago.

l don’t disagree.
