Good to have more to eat from plants instead of animal products

“Researchers, studying fossilized human feces, have concluded that paleolithic people consumed over 100 grams of fiber a day, compared to the average American’s consumption of about 15 grams a day. Since fiber is found only in plants, (meat, dairy, eggs and fish have ZERO fiber) our ancestors consumed huge quantities of plant material every day. So much so, that eating animal foods would have been difficult. Try eating 28 cups of blueberries, or 20 large apples, or 8 cups of peanuts, or 32 bananas, or 20 cups of broccoli or 30 potatoes or any combination thereof to equal 100 grams of fiber a day and see if you have the stomach for anything more."

There might be anything that would become too much in a diet. But the healthiest way does not have that problem. Eat more variety of whole foods from plants. It should go up to thirty or as near to that as possible of different kinds of plants from which you have food each week. …emory.edu/could-eating-30-plants-a-week-be-the-a…
