Michael Pollan was incorrect about plants, though -- it turns out you can just cut plants out of your diet entirely and experience excellent health and fitness as a result.
I follow enough to know that you can remove plants; humans have shown they can survive (thrive even) on a large variety of diets and lifestyles. Do you have any links to something I can read about that you should? that is, the benefits of removing plants entirely outweighs consuming some of them.
