Yeah, that's definitely true. They surely didn't have bananas, apples,
mangoes, romaine lettuce, etc. now did they...And if they did, they
would have froze to death! So, all things considered, I suppose that the
diet they ate was probably a diet they HAD to eat in order to survive,
and to keep warm enough...That high raw fat diet surely kept them warm.
