In other words, /lean/ protein, carbohydrates, and exercise.

they did not farm grains, which are the main carbs of our diet.


Not only that, but farming is also a main source of animal and vegetable fat.


I don't think they had any grains similar to what we have today to
farm, even if they could. The grains we have today only exist
because they were selected and developed to produce the grains. Like
they started with some grain that was small, almost useless or
inedible. Then they'd find an abnormally large one, or a tastey
one, or hopefully both and save the seed and replant it, continuing
that process for God knows how long, until they had the big, useable
grains that emerged in the last few thousand years. That process is
how a type of grass became corn in Mexico.
