@Swansven Yeah that’s what people miss with Weston Price. His work shows what prevents degeneration, not what maximises human development.
The presence of some prepared plant foods doesn’t imply necessity or optimality, it reflects environmental constraint. When animal foods were abundant, they dominated. When they weren’t, plants were processed to reduce damage.
Weston Price never, not once showed that seeds or grains improved outcomes, only that traditional processing reduced how much harm they caused. The moment refined grains, sugars, and modern plants entered, degeneration began immediately.
So the takeaway isn’t "humans need plants" it’s “humans can tolerate plants under constraint.” Raw animal foods were always the developmental anchor.
