After all, humans, ancient or modern, just aren't equipped to live on a diet of meat alone. "If you get that much meat in your diet not balanced out with other nutrients, you get protein poisoning," says Hardy.

Nor are we equipment to live in vegetables alone.

I think my wife uses it in her lead weights, er, biscuits.

[squarebarb]

Can that be true? Inuit (Eskimos) have lived on an all-meat diet for millenia.

"It's another nail in the coffin of the idea that hunter–gatherers didn't use plants for food,"

Who the heck thinks that? Hunter = hunt for animals. Gather = gather berries, fruit, nuts, grains, vegetables, etc.

So we were eating biscuits and sausage gravy 20,000 years ago?

[edcoil]

So human had bread with their meat. Why is this a surprise.

Funniest (most ironic, too) bumper sticker I can recall... spotted in the parking lot at a Phish show in 1996:

"My ancestors didn't claw and bite their way up
the food chain so that I could eat veggie burritos!"

But not as good as this....

PETERMAN: Inside that small college boy mini-fridge is my latest acquisition. A slice of cake from the wedding of King Edward VIII to Wallis Simpson, circa 1937, price—$29,000.

It was my understanding that hunter-GATHERERS ate anything organic which they could get in their mouth. What were they Gathering?

Nah, this was probably an early weedeater.

Stone Age flour found across Europe

So make me a biscuit.

[Larry Lucido]

Of course stone age folks had flour. How else would they make pizza?

What I guarantee you will never find is stone-age quiche.

[elli1]

Makes you wonder what the ‘experts’ thought the Stone Agers were doing with all those grinding stones that they found laying around, if not making flour.

[tiki]

Duh, they were called hunters, GATHERERS! What did they hunt meat and then gather it or did they gather meat and then hunt it, LOL.

Of course they had fruits, vegetables and grains in their diets, they just didn’t farm them.

I’m waiting for someone to dig up the first paleolithic cheeseburger.
