Every change has consequences, some good, some bad.
Some mere preference- taste, schmaste.
Some calories or bacteria- survival.
Most Western people eating high meat diets eat no organ meats which is 
not sustainable. A dog or cat or lion cannot live on chicken fillets and 
steak, and they are a carnivore (OK dogs will eat some veges), but do 
fine with steak, liver and ribs. This is the fundamental reason most 
high meat diets don't work.
Also h-g's eat lots of root vegetables (see Cordain's paper about 1999 
about what h-g's really eat/ate).
So eat Eden but you need to be accurate about the food choices. AND it 
needs to be grass fed animal, not grain fed. AND the animals need to be 
graised and veges need to be raised n paleolithic soil! Modern soils are 
depleted of many minerals.
And then perhaps vee may begin.
