"Never have humans in the history of their entire existence consumed so much meat in their daily diet." Source: jelliclesfarm's mind.

Inuits would like a word with you.

Right. So they hunted seasonally. They consume fish and also bird eggs. Most importantly, they didn’t eat factory farm meats. It seems to me that you are purposely omitting the context for a ‘gotcha’.

[..]Hunted meats: Sea mammals such as walrus, seal, and whale. Whale meat generally comes from the narwhal, beluga whale and the bowhead whale. The latter is able to feed an entire community for nearly a year from its meat, blubber, and skin.

Inuit hunters most often hunt juvenile whales which, compared to adults, are safer to hunt and have tastier skin.

Ringed seal and bearded seal are the most important aspect of an Inuit diet and is often the largest part of an Inuit hunter's diet.

Land mammals such as reindeer (caribou), polar bear, and muskox

Birds and their eggs

Saltwater and freshwater fish including sculpin, Arctic cod, Arctic char, capelin and lake trout.

While it is not possible to cultivate native plants for food in the Arctic, Inuit have traditionally gathered those that are naturally available, including: Berries including crowberry and cloudberry

Herbaceous plants such as grasses and fireweed

Tubers and stems including mousefood, roots of various tundra plants which are cached by voles in burrows.

Roots such as tuberous spring beauty and sweet vetch Seaweed[..]
