For context: I never initiate political conversation at the table. I think it is impolite, and I doubt most of the people at my table even know my political orientation. But this year, fuck it. If anyone brings up Vaccines, I want to be well prepared to ruin Thanksgiving for everyone with facts and logic.

[Edit: I'd also appreciate suggestions for side dishes to bring]

I feel like the whole ancestral diet thing is misinterpreted. Hunter gatherers would have gone through long periods of starvation. They'd be happy to be fat (though not morbidly, in a disabled way), and they were lucky to live to be 40 or 50 so a lot of stuff that matters to us wouldn't have mattered to them. They ate meat when they could get it, and to the extent that they could preserve it. For the most part, they weren't getting meat protein every day. The rest of that sounds like just a good diet, which is great.
