lol this is such utter bullshit? I'm blown away by how confidently stated and how utterly incorrect this is.

1. Ancient egyptians ate fucktons of wheat and barley, lentils, chickpeas, etc. They ate massive amounts of fiber lol I mean holy fuck I just can't believe how wrong you are?

2. Fiber is very, very well understood by ALL health organizations to be preventative for colon cancer.

You shouldn't feed the trolls.

Maybe, but the person they're responding to seemed to be genuine in their question, and I worry that they'll read a statement like "they mostly ate meat" and think it's plausible when it's insanely incorrect.

You should follow the HN rules.

Ancient Egyptians is less than 10,000 years ago.

Homo genus is 2 million years old.

Repeating "muh authorities" isnt an argument.

Your willful axiomatic dogmatism isnt science.

Cave paintings dont depict agriculture. They depicted hunting and agrarian nomadic lifestyles
