> If you continue to eat a protein and nutrient deficient diet (which is probably a majority of Americans)

Is it true the majority of Americans eat a protein deficient diet? I always thought there was too much protein in the western diet - nearly at every meals versus how we would have evolved with somewhat limited access.

A lot of what Americans consume is really crappy carbs and sugar, unfortunately. Even fatty meats would be better than that.

So, lots of foraging for food that grows on plants and the occasional bison?

Would that we could convert the world to diets like that.
