I don't know about ruining kidneys but the meat eaten by Eskimo's had a
different ratio of types of fat, more omega 3's etc. Our ancestors and others
that have lived off meat (like the Scandinavian explorers who performed this
experiment many years ago) were mostly eating grass fed animals which will do
the same thing. I expect they also ate a lot of organ meat in order to get
enough vitamins, etc. People aren't carnivores. Omnivores, more likely.
Doesn't mean they can't live on meat though, if they're smart enough to do it
right.

Eskimos didn't care, either. Rather, they probably cared, but
couldn't do anything about it.
Of course, for thousands of years, Eskimos ate only meat (and fat) for
most of the year -- and very few veggies when they were available.
They didn't kill themselves on that diet.
Maybe it's because humans are basically carnivores, just like cats,
dogs and bears. Humans do not need ANY vegetables to be healthy
(there are enough secondary carbohydrates in most meats, cheese, etc.
to prevent ketoacidosis).
