    Naa, humans consume a lot more fiber than in the past. Salted meat was basically one of the main things we were able to store for long periods of time. The one thing that has changed? Overeating and sedentary lifestyle.

      I get that i said nowadays but the comparison is irrelevant because whether they’re consuming more or less than in the past, it’s still not enough. Also a lot has changed, including capitalism taking away our time, thereby forcing a lot of people into convenient, cheap options.

        Most people in the past worked just to be able to eat. It’s way easier to get food now than ever. This isn’t a capitalism thing, this is consumerism and being to lazy to cook home food. It’s way cheaper to eat grocery store bought food you prep and cook for yourself than it is to eat fast food. That shit is expensive as fuck.
