[QUOTE="NoCrbs4Me, post: 1615868, member: 113206"] After 2 1/2 years of eating only meat, I have no signs of scurvy or any other nutritional deficiency. The reason is simple: fresh meat is anti-ascorbic. This used to be well known. When Napolean's soldiers were suffering from scurvy in Egypt, he ordered donkeys to be slaughtered and fed to the men to cure them. And of course Inuit didn't have scurvy even though they did not eat broccoli and oranges. The plant material that the cattle around where I live eat is grass. Most of the land is not good for growing much else besides grass. About 98% of what I eat is local - not many other people around here can say that. Where I live about 80% of the produce is grown thousands of miles away (using close to slave labour, lots of chemicals, and irrigated with groundwater at a faster rate than it's recharged) and shipped in. More than half of what's grown doesn't make it to plates. Eating fruit and veg is very inefficient, in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
