In the Paleolithic era, people were considered to be hunters and gathers. This meant, whatever they ate was either hunted or gathered. None of what they ate was cultured, genetically grown, processed, and of course, man-made. They lived on what was available at the time. In short, their diet composed of food that was rich in natural vitamins and minerals.
Paleolithic people were carnivorous by nature. They hunted animals for meat and fished for seafood. These provided for the fat, protein, and carbohydrate needs of their bodies. They gathered fresh fruits and vegetables from the forest to compliment their meats and that provided them with vitamins and minerals.
