Paleolithic Model for Nutrition

Modern diets are ill suited for our genetic composition. Our body's do not handle the advances in agriculture and food processing resulting in a plague of health problems for modern man. Coronary heart disease, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, obesity and psychological dysfunction have all been scientifically linked to a diet too high in refined or processed carbohydrate.
 What i take away from this is eat and live wild and be healthy.

HoBow:
A good book to read is "Eat Right for Your Blood Type". It talks how the original bloodtype was "O" when man was primarily meat eaters. When man started farming, "O" mutated to "A" bloodtype. As a result, "O" bloodtypes can basically dine on an orgy of meat and never have cholesterol or artery issues). An "A" bloodtype would drop dead at 40 with this diet and should eat much more vegetables...interesting reading for sure!

Hillbilly:
Lot of difference between wild meat and domestic meat, too. I think our bodies spent hundreds of thousands of years getting used to a diet of lots of lean red meat in the cooler months, fish in the warmer months, greens, nuts, and fruit in season; so the closer we stay to that, probably the healthier we are. With that said, I sure do like me some fat, greasy barbecued pig meat, though. ;D

Postman:
I think different groups quickly adapt to locally available fare. Most of us would have a hard time staying healthy on an Inuit diet of rich fatty sea mammals with no veggies to speak of. I wish I ate more like my southern Italian ancestors  - people nearby in sardinia are among the longest- lived, healthiest on earth. They eat a lot of leafy greens, fish, game and domestic animals in small amounts, most of the fat is olive oil, and molto vino rosso!

Pappy:
You are probably right Jesse,even tho I am not sure what they died of ,the life expectancy is a lot older now then it was years ago, You would be an old man in the stone age. :) :)
