(https://muse.jhu.edu/article/192557) Darwin, Charles Voyages of the Adventure and Beagle, Volume I (1839), from Chapter 6, his Sept 17, 1832 entry, 2nd paragraph : "We were here able to buy some biscuit. I had now been several days without tasting anything besides meat: I did not at all dislike this new regimen; but I felt as if it would only have agreed with me with hard exercise. I have heard that patients in England, when desired to confine themselves exclusively to an animal diet, even with the hope of life before their eyes, have hardly been able to endure it. Yet the Gaucho in the Pampas, for months together, touches nothing but beef. But they eat, I observe, a very large proportion of fat, which is of a less animalized nature; and they particularly dislike dry meat, such as that of the agouti. Dr. Richardson also, has remarked, 'that when people have fed for a long time solely upon lean animal food, the desire for fat becomes so insatiable, that they can consume a large quantity of unmixed and even oily fat without nausea' : this appears to me a curious physiological fact. It is, perhaps, from their meat regimen that the Gauchos, like other carnivorous animals, can abstain long from food. I was told that at Tandeel, some troops voluntarily pursued a party of Indians for three days, without eating or drinking." "Quotes from the Lewis and Clark expedition (1804-1806) show how reliant upon meat the explorers were, and would especially look for fattier animals, finding others 'very poor, meager, or lean & unfit for to make use of as food.' Meanwhile, beaver tail was loved."

They drink mare's milk in very great quantities if they have it; they also drink the milk of ewes, cows, goats and even camels.' 4 Although many nomads exchange animal products for goods, including foods, from settled peoples, those of Outer Mongolia, where the Mongols under Chinggis Khan got their start, were (and still are) a long way from the nearest substantial farmlands, and for them imported food would have been an expensive, and for the average family, no doubt rare luxury.5 "The Mongols' main meat foods were mutton and lamb; although by all accounts, their favorite was horse-meat, it was a preference that the average family could seldom indulge. The other principal type of food was milk (in various processed forms), again chiefly from sheep, but mare's milk by preference. The predominance of sheep in the herd and the importance of mutton and sheep's milk in the diet, as well as the predilection for horse-meat, probably arose from the very high caloric value of these foods, a matter of central importance for practitioners of the hard -- and in Mongolia, cold -- nomadic life. Beef -- our meat mainstay -- has 1,073 kilocalories [kcal -- the same "calories" that we count when dieting] per lb; mutton has 1,834, and horsemeat 1,855. Likewise, cow's (whole) milk provides around 400 kcal/lb, and sheep's milk 511.6 Pound for pound, pint for pint, you get the best caloric return from sheep and horses. "Fat provides most of these calories: 89% of them in the case of mutton, which is 40% fat; and 67% with sheep's milk (7.5% fat). One low-fat food was available. Since most of the Mongols' animals provided milk for only about 5 months a year (cf. cows at 10-11 months), the Mongols had to process milk into forms that would keep well during the seven 'dry' months. They rendered cow's milk into a dried skim milk solid, the approximate equivalent of our non-fat milk powder. But they kept and ate the by-product, butter, off-setting the healthful [sic] effect of the dried skim."7 4 John of Plano Carpini, "History of the Mongols," in The Mongol Mission, ed. Christopher Dawson (London: Sheed and Ward, 1955), 16-17. 5 Plano Carpini, 17: "[The Mongols] do not have wine, ale or mead unless it is sent or given to them by other nations." 6 On horse-meat, see W. Martin-Rosiest et al., "Rendement et composition des carcasses du poulain de boucherie," Bulletin Technique, Centre des Recherches Zootechniques et Veterinaires de thelix 41 (Beaumont, 1980); and [no author given] Nutrient Requirements of Domestic Animals, Number 8: Nutrient Requirements of Dogs (Washington: National Academy of Sciences, 1974), 46.

Hjort, Having Herds (Stockholm, 1976), 25, 170. Figures for the caloric value of cow's milk vary considerably from region to region and breed to breed. On sheep, see Dahl and A. Hjort, 216 on milk (given a range of 1,050-1,200 kcal/kg, from African rather than Inner Asian sources in this case; cf. S.K. Kon, Milk and Milk Products in Human Nutrition, 2nd rev. ed. [Rome: FAO, UN, 1972], 3); and for meat, Epstein, 34 and Dahl and Hjort, 201 and 204. 7 William of Rubruck, "The Journey of William of Rubruck," in Dawson 99.

Weatherford, Jack Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World, 2004, as quoted in a Facebook post : "The Chinese noted with surprise and disgust the ability of the Mongol warriors to survive on little food and water for long periods; according to one, the entire army could camp without a single puff of smoke since they needed no fires to cook. Compared to the Jurched soldiers, the Mongols were much healthier and stronger. The Mongols consumed a steady diet of meat, milk, yogurt, and other dairy products, and they fought men who lived on gruel made from various grains [carbohydrates]. The grain diet of the peasant warriors stunted their bones, rotted their teeth, and left them weak and prone to disease. In contrast, the poorest Mongol soldier ate mostly protein [and animal fat], thereby giving him strong teeth and bones. Unlike the Jurched soldiers, who were dependent on a heavy carbohydrate diet, the Mongols could more easily go a day or two without food." 'The Inuit of the Canadian Arctic thrived on fish, seal, walrus and whale meat. The Chukotka of the Russian Arctic lived on caribou meat, marine animals and fish. The Masai, Samburu, and Rendille warriors of East Africa survived on diets consisting primarily of milk and meat. The steppe nomads of Mongolia ate mostly meat and dairy products. The Sioux of South Dakota enjoyed a diet of buffalo meat. The Brazilian Gauchos nourished themselves with beef." Georgia Ede, MD, https://www.diagnosisdiet.com/full-article/all-meat-diets. |
