I am not suggesting living on meat alone is a healthy option. But the meat only diet will work. However, the meat must be concumed shortly after the kill for it to be effective. The enzymes and vitamins found in animal flesh begin to decay very quicklly after death. Hense, it is the move towards processing and shipping which has "ruined" meat. The farmer who kills and eats a chicken is getting a much healthier nutritional profile that the person who buys a chicken at the store. The artic expdetion who was stuck, please excuse my lack of details, lived on a diet of fresh seal meat and did not develop scurvy or any other diseases associated with high animal product diets. Because the meat was fresh it provided all of thier nutritional needs..
