That's true of some traditional cultures, and the Weston Price Foundation also diminishes the nutritional value of veggies.

If you look at the paleolithic evidence, however, even at the height of carniovry, paleolithic people ate meat at the ratio of 35% to 65% (meat to veggie). Paleolithic people ate plenty of raw veggies, especially greens, of which there was huge variety.
