I do not understand the concern with what ancient people ate. They did not live as long. Sanitation was poor. Infectious disease was rampant. Work was hazardous. Lions would eat you; dinosaurs too! Ok, I added that last one for a laugh. Mothers died in childbirth. Many children died very young. Nutritional deficiencies where commonplace.
Why the yearning for the "good old days?" BTW, what "good old days" are we talking about? The 1600's? The 1000's? 5000 BCE?
