Dumb stories like this have been coming down the pike on a weekly basis since the 60s. It won’t be long before they show up at the local welfare office. I think a lot of people just crack under pressure and want to return to their prehistoric roots.

The ideal of the Simple Life has been around since antiquity. Its never caught on as a mass movement since for most people for millenia, life was short, uncomfortable and very hard. We in the West for the first time in human history have it truly easy. I don't think most people would want to go back and live the way their ancestors did. The entire point of human progress is the pursuit of happiness. We're not going to attain it by living like abstentious hermits.
