According to this narrative, a balanced diet doesn’t involve eating the flesh and secretions of other animals that are eaten around the world – such as camels, dogs, cats, whales, dolphins, horses, guinea pigs, crocodiles, kangaroos, shark fins, turtles, iguanas, monkeys, emus, and so on. Luckily for us, out of the literally thousands of edible animals that we could consume, it’s the four or five animals that have been farmed where we live for hundreds of years, long before we even knew about nutrients, that are the ones important for a ‘balanced diet’.
