I am researching a diet based upon the paleolithic era of ancestors. I have 
attempted to make a pemmican product (dried beef, pecans, walnuts, beef fat) 
that would provide proper nutrition in one meal item. I would like to know a 
combination of basic ingredients that would provide essential nutrition without 
the addition of any other food item(s) or enhancement by vitamin fortification.
I understand that Pemmican is considered a "perfect" food. Therefore, is the 
combination (of ingredients) included in pemmican a balanced nutritional diet? 
Is it possible for a person to live on this one food item?
