Eat more possum-- the 'Other White Meat'
Cavemen also were scared of their own shadow and had an average life span of 25. Go figure.
Looks like if I eat nothing but deer meat and wild asparagus, I'll be healthy.
Ping for what are those who don't believe in evolution supposed to eat.
But the mammoths are all gone! So are the aurochs!
Now what?
As others noted, they lived to the ripe old age of 25-40. What a great diet.
[Yes I know: they didn't necessarily die from diet: it just helped]
It is not concidetal that Alchol has been around as long as civilzation.
Good, keep on eating carbs.
Didn't say that but eating sticks, twigs and raw meat ain't the answer either. From some of the skeletal remains, they weren't all that healthy.
If you are going to sing the praises of this diet you might want to consider how it might actually be consumed, why longevity is going up instead of down, and why the "carb" laden foods of the last 5.000 years haven't been a problem until now.
I can and do buy the refined sugars and over refined grains argument.
But the rest seems to be a stretch.
Still, whatever works.
but eating sticks, twigs and raw meat>>> ?
Now who said that?
It's all the fault of those vegetable eating hippies!!!

It's certainly is. They love all animals including bears, owls and turtle eggs and yet slaughter God's image, the unborn, in the womb. Go Figure.

Now this columns says the diet of our hominid ancestors was PRE-agriculture and PRE-hunting.
After looking at the 'good' diet, I've decided to die early because I can't (and won't) spend the time to find enough ants, roaches, etc. to eat. What about you?
Back then they didn't spend their spare time online. :'D They basically ate all the time, were opportunistic feeders, and were on the move a lot. Some claim that the division of labor between the genders started because of the need for someone to be awake all the time -- men nocturnal, women diurnal. Wives prefer sex at bedtime, men prefer it upon waking -- another artifact of that time? ;')
Could it be that one of the primary staples of the caveman diet was..............caveman?
I read an interesting book once whose thesis was that the reason for our evolution into Sapiens was cannibalism--specifically that we ate brains of our fellows and this somehow gave the survivors more intellect.
I've met some people who I thought were short a large spoonful or two.
I had trouble finding "the good diet" in all that mishmash. Where did you find it? Was there a list of healthy caveman foods in there?
