Dietary Roots

History reveals that the most primitive people were generally the healthiest as well! Our ancestors rarely died from the diet- and lifestyle-related illnesses that kill most people nowadays, mainly because our ancestors ate healthfully and were more active. They foraged from primary food sources such as wild game, fresh-caught fish from the sea or inland waterways, wild berries, nuts, and plant foods. Our ancestors ate in order to live. In our era, we have allowed food to become our idol, and too many people admittedly live to eat. Most modern men and women have strayed far from the foods that nourished the world's healthiest people. In our promiscuous society, we say yes to virtually every whim and desire of our palate, resulting in a national dilemma of an overweight, sedentary, and increasingly sick population.
