For example, the German physiologist Dr. Carl von Voit studied the diets of late-nineteenth-century laborers and found that they ate about 118 grams of protein per day. Von Voit then made a couple of classic errors. He confused description with prescription, and he extrapolated from heavy laborers to the population at large. He assumed that the workers ate what their bodies needed, so therefore 118 grams of protein must be the optimal daily amount for everyone
. I literally cannot remember eating a single vegetable, though I suppose I must have. I know I never ate a single meal without meat, though I was pretty fond of milk, eggs, and cheese, too.

Nobody ever said, “Hey, Garth, are you getting in your RDA of six servings of fruits and vegetables?” Nobody said, “You know, Garth, the USDA recommends that we consume 35 grams of fiber each day, and since there’s no fiber in animal foods, you better step up those beans, grains, and veggies.” Nobody ever said, “My God, Garth, your omega-6 to omega-3 fat ratios are supposed to be 1 to 1, but yours is all the way up to 15 to 1! Quick, eat less animal fat (which is rich in omega-6s). Nope. Not a word about the well-documented associations between serum cholesterol and dietary saturated fat
