Just as slaves and poor people through history. Something that have more to do with availability than preference or healthcare.
did early human ancestors regularly eat anything
Fair point!
Nope, they didn’t. Biologically we’re not meant to eat 3 times a day, every day. That’s why we have a lot of health problems, our bodies don’t know how to handle so much food.
Biologically we’re not meant anything. We do with what we’ve got. And for most people, three meals a day works out pretty well. It’s just convention.
Meal frequency has been linked to insulin sensitivity in plenty of research.
Don’t get too hung up on certain words, I just meant within the scope of how we evolved; our bodily systems are better suited to doing certain things in a certain way. The agricultural revolution happened around 10,000 BCE, yet gluten sensitivity is a very common affliction.
I mean I don’t think we have to go all that far back for meat eating to be way less than today with the possible exception of fish. I mean civilization was basically built on fish and grains.
