On the other hand, you could survive on meat. You have to eat every part of the animal to do so but you will get what your body needs. Any way im still at it. Getting skinny but feel good. I broke once for a veggie pizza with a friend. But it was worth it. =) still busier than hell and definately not getting enough protein but it shows how long the body can last on a minimal diet. Or better put how many times we eat for pleasure rather than sustenance. One more week and im going to start eating some organic produce like rice and veggies but im gonna continue this wild thing for the rest of the year. I know ive been promising more pics just keep forgetting to take them. Also the diet has been pretty damn boring. Ill put up what i have tonight. Peace

I think an individual person could survive on the right combination of fruits, vegetables and grains in the wild. Beans, acorns, and oils from acorns would be a necessity for protein intake. In a survival/wilderness situation it would be very difficult unless you were a guru botanist, nutritionist and had the ability to store food stuffs long term. I guess it also would depend on what climate you lived in, time of year, rainfall conditions, current health condition, etc.... Eskimos minus meat= dead eskimos. To sum up, it might be possible to live without meat in the wild but in most instances probably not. Homo sapiens and their ancestors would not have made it this far without the intake of meat protein. I for one, am a meat eater to the end!!!!! I like veggies too ;D

I saw a nature special or somehting about some Inuit eating habbits, and they took it in both extremes- all meat and no meat. They had two guys who knew their stuff (modern setting though). The meat guy ate just about everything you could think of- including certain... er... "organs" that I'm sure gave very little nutritional value, nearly as much as they made the camera guy sick ;D. However, the no-meat guy got pretty sick, I don't remeber from what. He had to eat such a rediculous amount of nuts and what not that he wound up messing his digestive system up. By the end of their study, the meat guy was perfectly fine. The no-meat guy didn't look so good though :P. I think the test was like three months or something- I have to look for that show.
