Natural Omniores Diet

 What is the Natural Omnivores Diet?
This is  my way of referring to  a diet rich in foods that we find in nature.  This diet includes all forms of  animal flesh,  above-ground vegetables and  starches like potatoes and rice.    The main foods I avoid are modern agricultural products which means no wheat, soy, corn, quinoa and the many variations available of these foods.   This diet definitely avoids oils made from these foods, these have been proven to be highly toxic even in moderate doses. 
I am also pretty specific about the kind of meats I eat and  how I cook them.  I consider meat to be living unless cooked too hot and long.   This means that all meat is cooked rare to medium-rare.  I avoid meats that are artificially made lowfat, chicken being the best example.  After a lifetime of eating chicken breast I currently try to  eat all my chicken in a 50/50 ratio of dark to white meat.  No animal in nature would neglect the fatty part of an animal, it is the most nutrient dense part.  I'm finally adding organ meats to my diet since they are extremely rich in both macro (fats/protein) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals).
There are some 'in-between' foods like nuts, legumes, raw and fermented organic dairy. A person could easily live without these foods.  Nuts and legumes are avoided because they are high in natural toxins.  I will eat raw nuts if I am in a pinch to find something to eat.   I personally do also eat plenty of eat raw milk and organic yogurt  but this is an individuals choice.  Animal husbandry has been around only as long as modern agricultural so it could be argued that milk is an un-natural food source.  I view drinking milk as a luxury we are allowed as the worlds top and most intelligent predator.
