It probably depends on where you are deficient or damaged. It’s important to get key nutrients.
I’m by no means vegan. I love an appropriate amount of meat and fat. I get the fattiest meat I can get. I love bacon.
But in college when I was eating mostly meat and carbs, low fruit and veggie I was not as well. Had sensitive stomach problems. I am more careful with where my meat and carbs come from though now. Cured my lactose intolerance I got then.
I am healthier with a balance of aromatics, fruits, and more veggies. I personally like spinach, arugula, avocados, okra, broccoli, ginger, brussel sprouts, turmeric, shallots, garlic, mushrooms, bok choy, celery, cilantro, parsley, green onions, berries, peaches, pears, and recently radish leaves.
Correct. Walk into any supermarket. You start off in the produce section.
Almost NONE of those fruits and vegetables are the way they were 100,000 years ago. They have all been genetically selected over many generations to be bigger, jucier, more sugary, etc.
Carrots were originally white. The Dutch experimented with different colors -- white, purple, and orange. The orange ones were the most popular, so that is why we have orange carrots today.
This is how we can know that early man ate very little, if any, plant foods. There wasn't anything worth eating. And don't even talk about the amount of energy from those original foods -- not worth even talking about compared to a nice mastadon kill.

Isn't that a statement you could equally apply to virtually all meat products we eat today? I just ate a bison burger so this is on my mind at the moment!
You have to seek out sources to get meat that isn't terribly 'modified' (pork has been 'refined' in recent times to make it more 'lean', as an obvious example). But even the less 'refined' meats of today are still nothing like they were hundreds, let alone hundreds of thousands, of years ago.
There is also something called The Gerson Therapy. Which is a juice/plant diet for curing cancer and all other sorts of "incurable" diseases. Been around since the 1930s curing shit. However they have ONE animal product in that plan and its liver supplements. When you starve the body of sugar, you starve the cancer and other things of its food source to survive. Not a lot of fruit in that diet. But again, look up vegans and look at how malnourished they get.
Food has changed over the years which is probably another reason it fucks us up. With the use of genetically modified plants its hard to get away from. Maybe this is why it fucks our bodies up so much? I just know eating no animal products will destroy your body.
I think it’s important to stay away from gmo, pesticides, herbicides etc. The plants are sprayed with chemicals and water with heavy metals and fluoride. Meat has problems too like antibiotic injecting and wrong feed. This is why it’s very important how you source your food. Allergies or sensitivity usually isn’t the food but something bad they’ve done to it. I try buy organic or companies against these practices.
I wonder if the vegans are suffering from a kind of poisoning. But I’ve heard if you go vegetarian you have to eat every 4 hours, because you need to eat a lot more if you are just eating plants. Think how cows must graze all day to eat enough.
For me a tasty, balanced, and filling healthy meal is something like pork, mushrooms, onions, sweet potatoes sautéed in butter/fat with spices over a bed of fresh greens.
I think plants help people with problems because they were likely eating dead food. Processed, preserved etc. I think raw fresh nutrients helps those people.
That doesn’t mean you don’t need fruits and vegetables at all.
Try eating a meat and carb only diet, your stomach will hurt.
This lady got out of wheel chair from a mostly intensely nutritious plant diet:

A meat only diet has helped many as well. Mostly those with autoimmune diseases, like Jordan Peterson's daughter.

I also eat fermented and pro&pre-biotic foods.
Actually, it DOES mean that.
Keep up the good work.
Here's something else. Fruits and vegetables have been manipulated to be basically unrecognizable: https://www.sciencealert.com/fruits-vegetables-before-domestication-photos-genetically-modified-food-natural/amp
