Correct diet

OK, so i was thinking,why don't animals suer rom tooth decay. Well maybe they do, but I've seen lots of skulls(former hunter and trapper) and I've never seen signs of decay. Wear maybe, but not decay. Even domestic animals, very liitle. I had a Malamute once and after i cleaned his skull, I noticed some porousity around his tooth line. but wild animals, no. Why? Perhaps they eat what they are supposed to eat. It would be interesting to know when decay appears in the primate fossil record. Did Australopithecines get cavities? Somewhere we changed our diet. Was it when we began to perer meat? Was it the advent of agriculture? Somewhere we got away from what we supposed to eat, or rather what we were designed to eat. Hunter/gather is a myth. its more like gatherer/hunter. We certainly savengers of meat in the beginnings of humanity. Homo Hablis wasn't a hunter, but he might drive jackals and vultures rom a fairly recent kill.(What is recent? Dogs can eat some pretty putrid meat. I've lived around the world and at one time or another have eaten some very strange stuf, hence my stomach tolerates much). Women folk were gatherers and the digging stick,not the club, was our first tool. So we ate alot of tubers and stuf in season. In cold climates we had to store ood and slow down our metabolism.
My conclusion is that our diet must be varied between meat and other foods. that the foods should locally grown, and that we eat whats in season(winter veggies in winter etc.) No additives, salt, spices,sugar,oils, etc. Boiled and grilled, mostly, maybe some raw too. have we evolved from that early menu? Probably not much. Paleolithic pizza is a myth.
