      Struggle, sure. It’s not an ideal diet by any means, but as compared to nearly certain death within a month, it’s far better. Certain cultures were nearly 100% carnivorous by necessity, and they could grow to be elderly, which demonstrates that we are unequivocally not herbivores, which was all I said. I’d never argue against us being omnivores.

      There are millions of people who would disagree.

      It seems to me that anyone whose ancestors were in Europe during the last ice age is well adapted to an entirely carnivorous diet because we’ve only had 10k years to have winter access to plant based food, which isn’t enough time to adapt to a plant based diet, let alone to lose the diet that we conquered the world with

      Vegans do badly without supplements, most carnivore diet followers don’t take any supplements other than salt, and many don’t take salt.

      How does your model of metabolism deal with living on a glacier?

        We are still in the last ice age (not for long, I suppose). I do not live on a glacier. I think you might be confused.

          You know what I meant, the last glacial maximum, I understand it’s an ice age because there’s ice at both poles, but we’re very close to an interglacial, especially with our efforts to fuck up the environment
