Almost none of the foods we eat were common 200 years ago, let alone 1 million.

- sytelus 12y agoHuh? You mean meats, vegetables, milk, grains didn't exist 200 years ago?
- zevyoura 12y agoSorry, what I posted was idiotic and said in haste. One million years is a couple orders of magnitude too long, but humans have of course had agriculture for 10k+ years. My point, though poorly phrased, was meant to be that modern crops are far different (largely more efficient) than the crops that were grown in distant human history. Also, corn, wheat, and rice dominate the worldwide diet in a way that wasn't always the case. Soylent is largely composed of these same crops anyways so the point I failed to make is silly on a couple levels.
