I find it quite interesting that most of the diet posts on here are trying
to figure out what humans have always done so that we can follow suit.
Usually, I would expect us to be trying all sorts of new and improved diets
that had never been done before, or diets that were cooked up in a
laboratory and supported by scientific experiments. I understand that
evolution produced a lot of great things (like us super-monkeys), but I
thought we were trying to transcend beyond evolution. I may have an
irrational bias, but I am assuming that a super-natural diet of my ancestors
will limit me to the average human lifespan.
