[Question] for Carnivores

I know that for many, Carnivore is therapeutic and medicinal. But I’m asking this to the people who believe this WOE is what we evolved to eat, that our ancestors ate this way.

I firmly believe that animal based diets are optimal and that we evolved eating huge quantities of animal foods. I also believe that we would never have intentionally restricted plant food. If there were berries or nuts available, we would have eaten them. They would not have been a major part of our diet, but they would have been included (is this incorrect?)

The logic of ancestral health is: if we did it for thousands of years, it is “expected” or necessary in some way, e.g. eating meat, fasting, sunlight, good sleep, exercise. So I always think, if we are trying to model our way of life on what our ancestors did, should we include some plant food from time to time? Is there something we might not know about that may be useful? I know there’s nothing on paper, right now, that says they’re necessary, but is the fact that they were included at all in the diet of our ancestors reason enough to eat small amounts? Might our bodies be expecting some plant food at some stage for some reason?
