I wonder how i managed a half marathon without eating any carbs for the previous week and then going for a walk the next day followed by a week of physical graft?
And the plant, roots nuts etc is speculative..
Did the early hunter gatherer expend energy foraging for nuts , leaf and berry or go for the biggest kill he could find or the bighest scavange he could steal...realizing a belly full of meat and fat would last him alot longer than a belly full of lime leaf and blackberries ...and the fruits nuts and leaves would have been high up due to the animals being taller and eating all in reach and having bigger bellies...
Now im the one being speculative lol.
Enjoy yer veg ...
Well - each very much to their own - but i won't be dropping by for a smooch - that's for sure
There is (unsurprisingly) quite a lot of 'he' going on in that discourse ..
Evidence suggests that it was most often the women folk doing the day to day foraging for plant foods, in co-operstive groups, whilst they cared for the youngsters too.
The hunting for additional protein - to give nutritional advantage to the tribe was done by menfolk on the whole - young men in particular with their high levels of testosterone, and need to prove themselves - being willing to take on the risks - but they were at the same time relatively expendable - they didn't carry or nuture the offspring for years - then when we settled to agriculture - we stopped hunting antelope so much - so maybe that's why we had to start up warmongering instead - to protect our silos of grain or pinch other peoples - now we do it over commodities such as oil - or land - but it all amounts to the same fairly basic preservation of me and mine , instinct perhaps.
Some anthropologists even liken the modern day fascination with tribal sports such as football, as being a psychological substitute for the antelope hunt - with all its excitements, and team alliances, and winning the goals.
Thank you, I do enjoy my veg - very much so - in myriad rainbow variety and delicious abundance - i can't imagine life without them .

Some say i look rather well on it - not that outward appearances are of primary concern.
But my poor twenty five year old son was mistaken for my 'boyfreind' in a dress shop the other day - what horrors for him - it maybe his luxuriant beard that adds the years ..
That'll learn him to persuade me to go frock shopping - its a very lovely mustard and yellow floral - if you're interested ..
p.s. my very Yorkshire granny did the best ever puds - served as you suggest in the time honoured fashion, before the Sunday beef - served with lots, and lots, and lots of veg from grandfathers market garden - balance in all things
