Articles like this extolling these diets and life styles always overlook the fact that these “traditional peoples” rarely live beyond sixty years. There seem to be benefits to modern living, diet and all.

I bet their dogs have a rich full life,right up to the point that the fish and venison run out.

Makes sense.
Their normal diet is mostly protein and their metabolism is optimized for it.
Start feeding them carbs, and they get fat.

Nobody is “feeding them carbs”.
They are eating them by choice, a lot easier than doing the hard work necessary for venison and fish.
Very likely their exercise level has been significantly reduced. It is not just carbs. It is a common result of access to abundant food without having to expend much energy to get it.

CARBS are evil... all this nonsense about fat over the last 30 years or whatever is total nonsense, its high carb intake that is at the root of the obesity and health epidemics.

Heavens sake, dont introduce SPAM into their diet. Look what its done to the Micronesians!

Carbohydrates are not human food. They should be illegal.

Their normal diet is mostly protein and their metabolism is optimized for it. I would think that their traditional, healthy diet is probably higher in fat than protein. But your point about carbs is right on. Take any healthy population: if they commence a diet high in carbohydrates, many of them will become sick and fat. Carbs are behind the epidemic of chronic diseases.

Note that the diseases on your chart only go in one direction, from Europe to America. Why? I recall a looong time ago (1980s probably) in Discover Magazine Jared Diamond wrote an article called “The Arrow of Disease” that asked that question but I don’t recall what his conclusions were. Still, the question has stuck with me.
