Evolution of Diet
- contingencies 12y agoTLDR; Humans have traditionally eaten almost everything. There is no one ideal human diet. Paleo diets focus too much on meat, which kills you and gives you cancer, particularly if your ancestors were adapted to plant-based diets. Processed foods also kill you, but today we can’t survive on raw, unprocessed food alone. Eat more local fruits and vegetables, a little meat, fish, and some whole grains (as in the highly touted Mediterranean diet), and exercise an hour a day. Annoying formatting but a great article: I joyfully went through every little image caption. Thanks for sharing.
- Zigurd 12y agoNot only is there no one ideal diet, many people assume an ideal diet would be constant, every day, every week, all year, and over almost all of one's lifespan. Even the question of natural vs. engineered diet breaks down once we get past the age where we would have made a difference in survival of a family or tribal unit. Diet as an element of life extension is unlikely to be identical to any "paleo" otherwise prehistoric diet.
