I bet they even wash their tooth just for you
****, the diet conversation died down
I was expecting some heated debate on paleo or no carb diets
oh well
Not enough energy for a heated debate.
The Paleo diet is based on hunter/gatherer diets prior to 10,000 years ago. The premise being that genetically, we have changed little since then.
My wife started a paleo kick about a year ago, however she cooks everything and still uses a little bread. I've been doing it quite a bit longer and prefer raw/rare.
I've avoided foods with chemical additives for nearly 20 years. Things like preservatives, artificial flavors and red dye #6 type things. No sugar, no soda, rarely anything out of a package.
Some cultures that have been using dairy for thousands of years have evolved to tolerate lactose. That would be middle eastern and Andean cultures among others.
Interestingly, Ötzi, the Tirolean Ice Man (dating from between 3000 and 3400 BC) and some 5,000 years after paleo man was apparently from a farmer culture near Sardinia. He suffered from a high carb, high grain diet and bad teeth. The last thing he ate was grains and meat from an Ibex. He was also lactose intolerant.
He has at least 19 living relatives in Austria today.
There's a chapter - "The Food Remains from the Colon of the Tyrolean Ice Man" - in the book "Bones and the Man",

Hey vehve plants may have feelings, I don't mean emotions though I sure don't know... I mean a sense of peril when we harvest them... There are studies of interest on the subject any how... That's why I just eat everything ( almost ) and can't say for sure one life form suffers more or less when I eat it...
Does that make a raw food diet sadistic?
I'm sure they're depressed when pulled up by the roots and not immediately transplanted.

Extreme fruitarians only eat plants that die naturally, like fallen apples and stuff. That's messed up.
So most herbivorous animals are cruel to plants.
