eli5 why we have such complex dietary requirements. Did our ancestors thousands of years ago have extremely well balanced diets?

We are simply worse at living in survival mode. Our brains are evolving beyond our physical capacity.
It used to be that loving in a region meant that you and all of your ancestors ate the same regional food.
Now no longer the case (in developed nations). So we eat things that aren’t the best for us, and make up for it by trying to be super healthy.
2 centuries ago one was expected to live DRASTICALLY less than we live today. We’re evolving too fast.
ETA: unless you’re religious. Then you’re just being punished by god(s)
