We evolved eating meat and fat with some vegetable matter. The
preponderance of paleoanthropological data seems to point to the theory that
man preferred meat and fat over vegetable matter if it was available.
Fruits, nuts, etc., was eaten along with the meat and fat but they were not
the major food group if meat and fat was available. There is some anecdotal
evidence that explorers of the American West lasted for months on just jerky
and pemmican with no ill effects. The Eskimos, before we "civilized" them,
ate only meat and high-fat with very little or no vegetable matter and they
were plumb healthy. They didn't suffer dental caries, heart malfunctions,
et. al. Some tribes in Africa still eat only beef, drink fresh
(un-homogenized, un-pasteurized) milk and the occasional draught of fresh
cow's blood and they are insufferably healthy.
Bodybuilders need the protein as building blocks to build the extra muscles.
Does a "high" protein diet cause harm? Maybe, but listening to the
government will definitely cause harm. Nobody in their right mind listens a
bunch of lackeys in the government.
If you feel like eating meat and fat, eat it. If you feel like eating
leaves and twigs, by all means get after it. You have to go with your body,
not someone elses idea of what your body needs.
