Food isn't simply nutrition

Moving heavily muscled and shorter legs is hard work, but so is beating a bigger heart. Neanderthals would have needed a whopping 3500 - 5000 kcal every day, going up to 7000 in harsh environments when lacking insulating clothes.

That's the equivalent of a blow-out Christmas day binge: a fry-up at breakfast, roast dinner and champagne, cheese platter, plus left overs and trifle for dinner. Each and every day.

Three reindeers every 7 days would hit that target.

To get enough vital micronutrients you need fat, brain, tongue, eyes and marrow.
