If you want to live long and prosper, eat as if you were alive 2 million years ago.
You’d have plenty of fatty meat to eat (can you imagine how good a duck roasted over an open camp fire must have tasted way back then?), lots of bird eggs, fish and fruits and veggies when in season. Grain would have no place in your diet.
Last I checked there were still no pasta trees, cereal bushes or soda streams.
Not that ALL food and drink that has come down the post prehistoric pike is bad mind you – but most of it is.
Hey – I’m still having my
