What about people living in the third world and the rapidly increasing world population? Won't it be necessary, at some point in time, that people live primarily off of nothing but grain?
I mentioned it earlier in this thread, but there is plenty of evidence that they did eat grains. The thing to remember is the majority lived in a constant state of starvation. Disease and famine were rampant. I'm not sure were people got the idea that they were healthy by modern standards and should be idealized.
Wait, you forgot the part of spending seven hours a day gathering and hauling firewood to have enough to get your family through another winter's night. Backbreaking toil tends to burn calories. Good to hear a voice of reason in this thread, btw. Keep it up.
If you have to devote seven hours a day solely to gathering firewood you might as well just be eating ding dongs and ho-hos. Nothing nature can provide will save you from your own ineptitude.
What I've always wanted to know the answer to is at what point (or if at any point at all) man will have adapted to be able to freely consume a diet of nothing but cereal and grains. Can it be possible someday for humans to subsist, disease free, on such a diet, or will we all have died from malnutrition before we ever get that chance?
there have been a lot of interesting studies about how hunter gatherers and early farmers worked and lived. what it seems is that they actually worked a lot less hours than we do now, over the course of the year. in some cases, literally just a few hours a day.
