.....as your theory states!  Remember that for all we really know, some of
these things may be improvement over the diet of the primate in nature.
Many animals, like some parrots, live longer being fed a diet that they
would not have eaten in nature.  To say that there can be no improvement
over the diet in nature is just a theory in the case of man.
