Because people have not been eating a balanced diet for thousands of years.
They pretty much ate whatever was available in the region they lived in a thousand years ago.
And in modern times...we've been eating like shit. I grew up in the South of the U.S. and we fried EVERYTHING. Most of my older relatives all had high blood pressure and health issues from their diet.
Eating lots of protein and keeping carbs relatively low would be pretty close to what we should eat naturally anyway. If we were still hunters and gatherers we would eat as much meat as we could (protein), chicken and eggs (protein), and then whatever vegetables our particular region allowed us to grow (bit of carbs)
I don't think we ever were meant to eat all this processed food and drink thousands of gallons of carb filled soda.
