That whole diet makes sense to me with the exception of potatoes. Why none of those Emeric?

I think, pretty much, every people had a starchy staple in their respective diets.

I was on another forum the other day and i cannot remember which one but someone siad, "cavemen were old if they reached 35, why would i eat like one of those guys?" I know there were so many factors that went into the age they got to but the statement none the less made me laugh..
The article Shelby posted was interesting but i would venture a guess to say that the material they used to make flour would have been sprouted am i wrong?? So it wouldnt intirely have been like the flour that has taken over our culture today.. I may be wrong but its interesting none the less..

Well, you don't have to fight off wild tigers and Visigoths and whatnot anymore. LOL! Not to mention all of the medical advances that we now take for granted.
