Here is an attempt at constructing a modern equivalent to the diet humans
likely evolved to eat:
Eggs: Any variety
Meat: Any variety.
Nuts: Any variety, excepting peanuts and other "nuts" that are not nuts at all.
Fruits: Any variety.
Berries: Any variety.
Vegetables: Any that do not require cooking to be comfortably edible.
There would be almost very, very little of any of the following:
Cereal grains
Beans
Dairy products of any sort (outside of infancy)
*Tubers
(Perhaps an occasional treat?)
Eggs, meat, and nuts would be eaten ad libitum and would probably make up a
majority of the intake. Meat would be raw, dried, or cooked over an open
fire and most likely rare. Fruits would be eaten sparingly. A majority of
the rest of the food would be eaten fresh and raw most of the time.
Such a diet is very easy to live on even in this modern world; moderately
expensive perhaps, but not prohibitively so for most, especially if it
brings health benefits.
The question would be: is this a realistic modern reconstruction? Or are
there flaws to the model? What possible negative health consequences might
be associated with such a diet?
Comment is invited.
