My question to you is, do you disagree, do you know of different argument or point?

People used to appreciate foods much more in those days. In present day, there are some who act like spoiled brats when it comes to food. Those people need to live like our ancestors for a while and see what life is like for 99% time of human existence.
I must confess that lately I'm using some seeds oil instead of pure fine extra ultra olive oil
- I mean, a mix, maybe 30 % in some cases 50 %.
Not the case for spinach or other leafy ...ehm, plants.
Those extrusions from the ground ( like cabbage, lettuce...) like to be only boiled ( just see the boil...) and then backed in a pan with garlic and chilies ( red dry ones).
Some like it to be simply mixed in a... mixer like pesto with lots of oil, with pasta.
Wow! It reminds me of the national ( international) contest for making pesto: the champion last year took about 35 seconds to transform a bunch of basil and pine nuts into "pesto"

There is a problem these days with what my dentist calls "grazing" where people sit all evening eating snacks. Not only bad for the teeth but bad for weight too.
Comfort eating is a problem with some people too.
My let down is chocolate. Once I star ta bar I have to finish it.
If I don't buy it in first place I dont miss it.
I have that problem with Maltesers. Remember when they were advertised as the chocolates with the less fattening centres?
It may mean that the person is a mountain (isolated from the village below) dweller.I have a hard enough time with 15 never mind 150!
Never did like people much.
Edit....does that,mean I have a small brain?
I think it is for about 4 people to kind of troll among themselves.. you'll see the same posters over and over and over
Welcome to the botanic jungle!you'll see the same posters over and over and over
haha.
If you look back at the *actual* diets of most people a few hundred years ago, you'll find their diets are mostly vegetarian. Meat a rare luxury and only at certain times of year. The rest of the time, vegetarian at least. Vegan perhaps, depending on what was available and then affordable. (remember how Samual Pepys buried his bit of parmesan to protect it from the fire of London in 1666, because it was so valuable and more of an investment than a food - the same things weren't available to the average person as they are today).
Whether they had a healthy diet or not is down to the social environment.
Here's an article about recent research into the diets of ancient egyptians: New study reveals ancient Egyptians were mostly vegetarian | Ancient Origins
vegetarian/vegan are often interchangable when talking about older history - you can't really tell what was available to the individual to be more specific.
The strong meat eating cultures we see today are very very recent in terms of human history.

Is that how you see anyone who is vegan? Spoiled brats for not just eating and apreciating what they're given?
That would be kind of contradictory on a DIY audio website - we're here because we have independent streaks of doing things for ourselves, our way!
Not just accepting what commercial gear they decide to sell us. And choosing our own way of life rather than just doing what others tell us we should, including our moral choices.
Haha: instead of going to the doctor next, evenharmonics, instead just stay ill and refuse all medical help - appreciate how our ancestors used to live rather than being a spoiled brat with modern healthcare

That depends on where and how far you look back. People ate what was locally available to them. More seafood along the coastlines, more vegetation where edible ones are available, more red meat where it was available.... etc.
Further you look back, it's harder or impossible to find people's health records.
That's if you omit hunter / gatherer period of human history.
Don't forget, we are in the lounge of the forum where "A place to talk about almost anything but politics and religion" so that's really stretching it.
Getting really deep there, eh?
There were doctors in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, China, Greece, Roman Empire...etc. History of medicine - Wikipedia
