[[and how a traditional African diet could add more healthy years to your life.]]
Nope- not eating baboon and drinking ebola water
“I should probably look into this way of eating.”
Eat zee bugs and Be Happy!
Fastest animal on the planet? Ethiopian Chicken
“....even short periods of dietary changes might have lasting effects.....”
Eat stuff that has no Carbon.
Become Carbon Neutral.
Hilarious !
Quirijn de Mast would also likely find evidence that all civilization going to an African village based life style could improve all life on earth, maybe even resurrect the dead !
-fJRoberts-
Everything has carbon!.................
“The study had several constraints: participants ate as much as they wanted rather than receiving controlled portions”
One of my best friends grew up in a French colony in Africa. His parents were missionaries. He said that anytime they visited a new village his dad always killed a monkey before they got there to give to whoever was in charge.
Monkey brains were considered a delicacy, but the rest of the monkey was usually tough and stringy and kind of disgusting unless it was prepared by someone who really knew what they were doing.
Does the diet result in offspring with lot’s of A’postrophe’s?
Africans drink cow piss,cook termites over cow dung. Watched all the documentaries I think I will pass.
Only the Organic Foods.
This stupid stuff goes hand in glove with the FEAR PORN about tariffs...as IF everyone is going to buy a new car this year, or everyone is going to buy farm equipment, a new phone, computer/laptop,T.V., or whatever.
Oh, and my friend was an avid hunter, but he loved food from McDonalds.
Skittles, Night Train, and Kools?
Ohhhhh, “African” diet. I thought they said “African American” diet.
(If you’re offended, you have no sense of humor)
Grasshoppers soaked in bushlady piss!
Delicious and so much better for you than a Big Mac!!! Yum!
I have a theory as to why African Americans are so overwhelmingly obese as a group.
Their ancestors in Africa ate simply and their bodied evolved to make as much use of every scrap of food that was available when it was available.
Once their descendants were brought to the New World, their bodies went into overdrive with all the food that was available, storing every morsel of carbohydrates as if the season of plenty would soon be over and the starvation season was about to begin. And it continues to this day............
I’ll keep that in mind. Eat the brains. Feed the rest to the in-laws. Ha ha.
When I was taking anthropology in high school, the book specifically discussed the use of human urine used in food because the natives believed that it helped make food and drinks safer. When I tried to Google it just now this was denied, but my guess is that the books 50 or so years ago were more likely to be truthful than the texts and info found today.
If you traveled to the dark continent and tool a course in how to properly cook them... you might be able to learn how to make these little guys palatable.
