In the growing “looksmaxing” and “ancestral health” conversations online, one idea stands out: our height, bone structure, and overall robustness are influenced not just by genetics, but by the health and diet of our ancestors. So how much truth is there in this?

1. Genetics Sets the Blueprint — Nutrition Shapes the Outcome

Your genetics provides the potential for height, facial structure, and bone density. But whether that potential is fully expressed depends heavily on environment, especially diet during conception, pregnancy, and childhood. Malnutrition, deficiencies, and low-quality protein can reduce stature, narrow jaws, and even affect dental alignment.

2. Why Animal Foods Built Strong Bodies

Anthropological evidence, especially from Weston A. Price’s research in the 1930s, shows that traditional diets rich in animal protein, fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, K2, E), and minerals consistently produced populations with:

Broad jaws and straight teeth

Robust bone structure

Greater resistance to disease

By contrast, groups that shifted to refined flour, sugar, and processed oils quickly developed narrower faces, crowded teeth, weaker immunity, and shorter stature, often within just one generation.

Animal foods offer nutrients that are difficult or impossible to obtain from plants alone:

Retinol (Vitamin A) for growth and immunity

Vitamin K2 for strong bones and teeth

B12 for the nervous system

Heme iron & zinc for blood and fertility

DHA/EPA for brain and eye development

Choline, creatine, taurine for cognition and energy

3. What Happens Across Generations of Veganism?

If an entire generation is raised vegan without supplementation, predictable deficiencies show up:

Narrower jaws, smaller bone frames (from lack of K2, retinol, minerals)

Shorter stature if calories/protein are inadequate

Dental problems and crowding

Reduced fertility and hormonal robustness

Cognitive issues from low DHA, choline, and creatine

Across multiple generations, these effects could compound. Supplements (synthetic B12, algae-based DHA, lab-made K2) can mask the deficiencies, but that’s a modern crutch, not an ancestral solution. Historically, no culture was fully vegan: even “vegetarian” groups included dairy, ghee, insects, fish, or eggs.

4. Why Is Veganism Pushed So Hard in Media?

On the surface, the messaging is about:

Climate change: reducing cattle methane

Health: lowering risk of heart disease and cancer

Animal welfare: promoting compassion

But beneath the surface are deeper drivers:

Centralizing the food supply, livestock can be raised by families, but soy protein, lab-grown meat, and fortified cereals are industrial and patentable.

Profit and patents: corporations can’t patent a cow, but they can patent lab meat or synthetic dairy.

Population health control: low-cholesterol, low-fat-soluble-vitamin diets weaken fertility and hormonal resilience over time.

Narrative alignment: it fits the broader push for “sustainable living under global governance,” where traditional ways of eating are portrayed as backward or harmful.

Even local radio stations repeat the message because they receive subsidized content, grants, or directives tied to EU and government sustainability programs. The script is written higher up and echoed everywhere.

Conclusion

An ancestral diet rich in animal foods built the most robust human bodies, and deficiencies appear quickly when these foods are removed. Veganism is possible with synthetic petrochemical based supplements, but it is not an ancestral model and places control of nutrition into the hands of industry.

Meanwhile, the media push toward veganism is not just about health or climate: it is about centralizing food production, controlling narratives, and shaping populations.
