This is not your answer, but the eating habits of the past are fascinating to me.

Want to live like we used to? Eat way less protein in meats. This is the solution.

I just built a set of chairs that were in a picture from a shaker museum. I managed to get the scale correct because there was a soda next to one in the photo.

It turns out that 1840's people were WAAAAY smaller than they are today. Not fat. But overall dimensions.

Why?

Eat less protein.
