The Inuit, by the way, were reasonably healthy on their mostly animal diet. Since the introduction of wheat, soda, pizza and other plant-based foods, their health has plummeted, with increasing diabetes, heart attacks and strokes.
Thats how I could write that if I were to write it as you put your side of the debate.
The reality is that overconsumption is the problem - not whether the stuff that is being overconsumed is plant-based or animal based.
In addition to overconsumption, there is the issue of contamination and spoilage, which is also true of both.
Ultimately, the solution is not to binge on animal fat or on plant starches, either of which is more or less unhealthy if taken to excess, and which will keep you short of vitamins,
The answer is to eat a balanced diet, not too much of anything.
We should eat, as Michael Pollan writes, "Food, Not too much, Mostly plants".
Thats it. We need to cut down on animal fats and on plant starches, we need to get enough minerals and vitamins, and we need some protein, some good fats, and some starch.
As long as you dont skew your diet too far one way or another, you'll be OK.
The big killers are overeating and imbalance.
