"You need a balanced diet with lots of variety!"

Human dietary history: Inuit: Seal, whale, caribou. Three foods. Zero deficiencies. Maasai: Blood, milk, meat. Three foods. Perfect health. Mongols: Mutton, fermented dairy. Two foods. Conquered half the world. Modern human: 35 different foods per week including quinoa, chia seeds, açaí berries, and spirulina. Deficient in everything. Needs supplements. Variety is how food companies sell you more products. Nutritional adequacy comes from eating the right foods, not the most foods. Your ancestors didn't have "variety." They had nutrient density. One of these approaches worked.
