What the hell is this obsession with eating what our ancestors did? Are you aware that animals in captivity generally live way longer than animals in the wild? The only thing you really know about your ancestors is they managed to mate a few times. Do you live in a cave too? Are you cold? Do you actually do the hunt or just pretend to do it? I hope you don't drive or use electricity.

GP wasn't talking about eating what his ancestors ate but eating in a way that they ate (boom and bust).

Are you aware that benefits mostly extend to species whit short life spans, high reproductive rates and high mortality in the wild? That is mostly because being in a zoo offers protection from the things that get these mammals with fast paced lives killed in the wild. Senescence is barely delayed in those mammals and in mammals with slower paced lives there is no effect on senescence and in some senescence starts earlier in captivity.

Ah yes, eating in the way they ate, it suddenly makes so much sense /s
> The rest of your post isn't worth addressing.
But this is my point. Why not? Why are people picking this one thing (food) to be "more like our ancestors" and not any of the countless other variables? And why is wanting to be like our ancestors even a thing given that they probably had hard lives that would basically be considered poverty by our standards?

It certainly does make more sense than what you said.

It seems that you are surprised that people are talking about food on a thread about food. People are also picking those countless other variables, they are just aware of things like context.

It isn't wanting to be like our ancestors. It is about being healthy.
