Let's see...75% vegetable to 25% meat. That's 3:1. So? Any data on
their health? I know of a tribe in the Amazon, that until recent years,
ate the hunter-gather diet. However, I have no data on their health
(then) and now (with more cultivated foods in their diet). Sorry,
without data no scientific conclusions can be made about the healthiness
of their diet.
