Sigh... I think the only "lesson" that you have taught anyone here , is that activist types ignore anything that doesnt fit their predjudices.

Pray tell, where did prehistoric people get calcium?

I will tell you, meat - especially fish and/or milk. Collard greens / kale / broccoli. Tofu. Various nuts can also have calcium. The problem with many of the vegetarian sources is that they do not produce during winter.

In warmer climates, it was certainly much more plausible to get proper nutrition year-round without meat. (though still common to eat meat, particularly fish if you were near water).

Again, you are cherry-picking certain examples and trying to say that it applied equally to all people in all places. Your point regarding protein and bone loss really only applies to geriatric women, not to everyone.

(incidentally, I grew up eating meat and drinking milk... never had a broken bone and it was not for lack of trying, despite being a skinny/small boned build)

I notice you ignored the rest of my points as well after getting utterly demolished by them.

Try again. Try harder.
