But speaking of the Inuit diet, the meat vs vegetarian debate is so full of propaganda and woo that I don't know how to find a straight answer to the following question: is there any real nutritional or metabolic advantage to consuming meat versus consuming eggs and milk from pastured animals? I should think that eggs and milk would actually be better, because they contain all the essentials in a concentrated form. But proponents of primal-type diets seem to feel that meat is somehow essential and I don't quite understand why.

I've never been healthy enough to be able to listen to my body. It thinks it needs sugar, and coffee, and bacon. lol.
I think so much because I'm trying to outsmart my body's determination to lie to me and get me to feed it unhealthy things. lol.

We eat out occasionally and purchase foods from local farmers preferrably. We belong to the coop and try to buy many of the things organically grown. I wish the prices on some things would come down yet so we could afford to buy more organic. You don't seem to need to eat as much when you eat organically grown food and it usually tastes better.

I hear absurd absolutes in that video. It's an instant "bull#" meter for the supposed real bull# detectors. I think of those shows on the same level as "myth busters" it's for the average idiots consumption.
Higher Nutrient Value in organics
Pestici de-free foods have higher nutrient values!

Bovine meat does not require all of the amino acids to create a human protein. You have to get them from fruits or vegetables. You also have to expend great energy to break that flesh down to usable.
To each his own. There is no disputing, however, that today's meat is not natural in any sense of the word.
