I will dumb it down for you then.

People who don't eat meat will eventually become frail and sick,
physically and mentally. If they eat grains, they will become frail and
sick faster.

People who eat/ate mostly meat and fats are/were inherently healthy.
The Inuits and Eskimos were extremely healthy before their diets
changed to include European foods like grains.

Malnutrition (ie. veganism, vegetarianism) leads to ill health. Ill
health leads to chronic illness and susceptibility to infectious
agents. It could not be simpler than that. If you still don't get it,
send me your address and I'll get my 10 year old to explain it to you
in words you can understand.
