      So if I come from a lineage of smokers it means smoking is healthy? I take your word for it, science man.

      Proof you only have to live 15 years to reproduce doesn’t mean much for someone wanting to live 80 years.

      Nobody ate meat before very recently. And cheese was not your typical daily treat. Remembers it takes a long time to produce

        Huh? Humans evolved in a hunter/gatherer lifestyle. Before the advent of farming, it was impossible to get sufficient calories for a tribe or village without hunting and bringing down big animals on a regular basis. Meat was quite literally the “meat” of human diet for most of history.

        After the advent of farming, you could pack a lot of calories with things like breads, for when you didn’t have meat (or in early civilization) when the rich folks got the meat.

        As for cheese, it really doesn’t take that long to produce unless you’re talking about aged cheese… But that’s a different topic (and both aged/fresh have different health benefits)
