Very unlikely. Usually females, beside looking after children, every morning wander through the forest gathering tubers, fruits, mushrooms, nuts, leaves etc. Males are a little bit more lazy, go for hunting animals every 3-4 days only (when on a hunt with them, they only caught a small monkey with their bow and arrows), and do other works around the camp. They usually only eat twice or trice a day. And the most surprising to me, they all spend most of their day resting and with leisure activities. But no grazing. At least that's what I observed during 5 days with a group of Pygmies in the Congoan jungle.

Although the so-called "grazing protocol" is a recovery protocol for today's world, in my view brilliant, it isn't meant to represent any historical precedent. It has a specific purpose.

Can't we all agree that there are similarities, at least in the absence of processed foods, cheeses, etc. with our ancestral diet?

the availability of fruits and vegetables determine much about our ancestors diet. This protocol was not possible during winter months in northern latitudes. But generally, even pamojja's description matches the general theme. In an area where fruits are available, with no refrigerator, such a protocol would be natural.
