This necessitates a higher metabolic rate for increased body heat which is produced by those foods. If you ate their typical diet in more temperate climates you wouldn't live that long. Also, they aren't eating bacon, cheesebugers, hotdogs, sausage, and other fatty, cooked, and processed meats full of nitrates, nitrites, coloring agents, flavoring agents, antibiotics, rodent hairs, fecal matter, and other non-nutritional additives. Eating raw meat offers the body enzymes capable of digesting the meat, and other vitamin/mineral and protein substances not destroyed by heat, ionizing radiation, antibiotics, and other preservatives. Go ahead, eat all those high trans-fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol laden meats.... just don't complain when you're told by your cardiologist you need a triple bypass.
