My guess is less processed food requires a lot more chewing especially in early childhood after being weaned while the jaw is developing. Mewing is the natural state of man.Title, lol. Can any1 explain?
I dont know how much stock I put into Price's work. I definitely think being on a reservation is a terrible influence on health, and "white man's foods", whatever that is, is probably not suitable for the aborigines. A lot of people attribute it to nutritional inadequacy but I think it might also have to do with the inclusion of sugary foods and a mouth micro biome not suited to starches.The dentist Weston Price noticed the same difference in jaw formation between different groups of people on different diets (hint: modern starch-based diets led to poor teeth and jaw development).
He travelled the world examining diets, cultures, and correlations to dental health and jaw development. Refer to here: Weston Price Principles of Helathy Diets

So , how RAY PEAT followers overcome this problem,( not enough mastication)? Mostly liquid diet apart from a couple bites of carrot won't do the job.Price conflated two different issues, namely teeth decay and arch/jaw development, believing both to be the result of high intake of nutrients. In reality, while dental health is a matter of nutrients, jaw development is a matter of mechanical stimulation, i.e. mastication. Obviously when an indigenous person is placed on a diet of soft starches and sugar, they will have neither strong jaw nor healthy teeth. Yet a starving person with adequate mechanical loading will still develop a strong jaw. Nutritional deficiencies would have to be very severe before they sabotaged jaw development.

There are many anecdotes of people supplementing vitamin K2 and experiencing facial widening and bone growth in adulthood. One particular forum member posted striking photos of before and after K2 supplementation and she was middle aged (Has Anyone Seen Facial Changes In Jaw And Cheeks From Vitamin K2-mk4?). There are also anecdotes of healing dental carries from K2 supplementation alone.So , how RAY PEAT followers overcome this problem,( not enough mastication)?

LOL, as if chewing cooked meat did anything for the jaw...Traditional diet, they always have chewed and eaten meat, traditional living style.
Wild game meat is much tougher than domesticated livestock that don’t exercise and usually older when slaughtered. I’m not sure hunter gatherers had the ability or interest to slow cook meat like a crockpot can to fully break down collagen. Not that it’s optimal for metabolic health but most non agricultural foods are coarser and tougher to chew.LOL, as if chewing cooked meat did anything for the jaw...
My question is why Paleo people are interested in eating like hunter gatherers when they sit on a damn chair, eat whatever the hell they want, noting that they DID NOT grow or hunt it, stay indoors, don't exercise for nearly 6-8 hours a day, and just live a relatively easy-going life. I think meat eating afforded benefits only because peoples lives were tough and short, but now that we are out of that lifestyle, I think its becoming a toxin in our society. Its got too much iron, too many ammonia building amino acids, too much protein (keep in mind, even 2 hours of working out isnt going to break down as much muscle as the hunter gatherers were doing, and even they didnt eat as much meat as we might think....their poops/coprolites hae been studied and its damn near chock full with fiber), and now contaminated with a whole lot of modern shite...Wild game meat is much tougher than domesticated livestock that don’t exercise and usually older when slaughtered.
