Hunter-gatherer societies, when given a choice, prefer to eat meat and organs over tubers and vegetables.

“I'd rather eat steak or organs like liver and testicle, which make me feel vital, along with fruit, sweet, colorful, and honey and raw dairy. Those to me are the most delicious and clearly the most sought-after foods by humans.”

“And there's a great paper by Frank Marlow the guy that spent so much time with the hots head he ranks you know what are the odds of foods and there's the foods are tubers berries honey money and meat and I think there's a fifth one but oh uh Baobab and and he asks both the men and the women what they prefer and both the men and women say honey is number one for the for the men it's meat is number two but for the women it's like a three-way tie between berries uh meat and Baobab and then for both the men and the women tubers are like a dis and Fifth and like vegetables Beyond tubers are not even in the survey they don't even say oh what about seeds or what about like weeds of plant that's like so far down for these people”

“I just think it's so interesting that you walk into Whole Foods or whatever grocery stores near you and the Paradigm this this sort of hierarchy that I think is clearly demonstrated by humans throughout our history and anthropology is flipped on its head and like all of the survival foods are especially Whole Foods because they sort of glorify the the plant Foods they're saying eat more of these survival foods and I think well I mean sure if they don't bother you eat them but they're like what what humans really want most of the time is like meat fish you know this kind of stuff”

“but I think it's so interesting and this is one thing I've tried to do in my work is to say but from that we can almost reverse engineer or just construct straight away a hierarchy of food value for humans and it's not to say you only should eat the highest value Foods all the time but I think there is a pattern you know based on what I've read and what I've observed in limited fashion that that that humans do seem to prefer animal meat and organs and then sweet things that that in nature being fruit honey Etc like those are the things we prefer”
