“However, most who have done any farming as most of us have experienced it didn’t fail to consume a large amount of protein. It may be that archeological evidence of ancient times establishes that there were cultures of farming where there were no animals raised for food and nothing such as eggs.”
True hunter gatherers that stop hunting and start eating the early grassy versions of what later became wheat,corn, barley, etc. using sticks to plant and carrying water, and such, before the domestication and raising of farm animals is probably a lot different than a modern American farm with plush fields of plenty, chickens, a dairy cow, pigs in the pen and egg and cheese omelets.
You’re right. I was extrapolating from farming as we know it.
