What's a natural amount?

I'm imagining a farm household hundreds of years ago, growing their own crops and having a herd of 4 cows, killing one or two a year for lots and lots of meat.

Google says hunter-gatherers got most of their food from meat.

And are crops not unnaturally cheap with modern mechanized farms?

I'd say a good definition for a "natural amount" is the average amount you get in a hunter-gatherer setting. That's what most of our evolution has prepared us for.

Not judging on the value of thaat diet though. "Natural" doesn't necessarily mean "good"
