Note: this is one of my oldest posts, written when I was 19. While this post is certainly not the “fresh take” on the natural diet of humans that I probably thought it was at the time, it still has solid information, so I decided to leave it up!
This is part three of my series on veganism. Follow the links to read part one and part two!
One source of disagreement between vegans and meat eaters is the question of what humans are supposed to eat. Many vegans claim humans are herbivores, while meat-eaters assert that humans are omnivores. So what are we, anyways? Herbivores? Carnivores? Omnivores? Most of you probably know the answer to this already, but it doesn’t hurt to look at the evidence. To answer this question, it makes sense to start with what humans eat in their ‘natural habitat,’ when they’re completely undisturbed by modern civilization. As such, this post will look at what traditional hunter-gatherer cultures ate!
