I agree. Who says Paleolithic hunter/gatherers ate primarily meat and
fat? Seems funny that we have 28 teeth designed for crushing grains,
vegetables, fruits, etc and only 4 teeth designed for ripping animal
flesh.
Taking the ratio of 28:4, that's the same as 7:1 ratio of vegetables to
meat. Why would we have this ratio of teeth if our diet has
historically consisted of "mostly meat and fat"? Did nature make a
mistake????
