What do you think [apes in the lab](https://www.labdiet.com/Products/StandardDiets/Primates/index.htm) might eat as a staple?

You could do perfectly well eating the high-protein monkey diet, but bear in mind it’s basically giant kibbles. People have done it. They did not like it.

Neither, for that matter, do the monkeys.
