I don't really understand people trying to reinvent the wheel, why not look for diets around the world which work, look at life expectancy in Japan, Spain, Italy, South Korea, Singapore, Cyprus etc. (though quite odd to see at top places odd landlocked Switzerland, dunno when that happened, never noticed)

The problem is that many people start to develop problems in digesting many types of food that would normally be easily assimilated. The causes could be many but the most likely culprits are antibiotics and pesticides damaging the gut lining and flora. The consequence is that people is losing the ability to safely eat foods that would be normally considered safe and healthy. In all probability the reason that a meat only diet works for so many people it's that it is a subtype of low FODMAP diet. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/22466-low-f...
