My reply, for your consideration: "Some work off hundreds and thousands of years of history. I'm working off 2.5 million." “When told that I am wrong and that people have been eating grains since the dawn of time…”

I was just wondering if you have read the 80/10/10 by Doug Graham and your thoughts on it.

His idea of the natural diet is fruits and greens = High Carb.

I get this sort os stuff ALL the time. When I'm with friends and somebody is buying some food product and offers the rest of us some, one jerk in thr group will say, "Oh, Rachel can't eat that. It has monosachasoyglucosginate in it - she can't eat that on her diet." Apparently me bringing up all the junk in processed food as become a sore spot so they mock me. Another "friend" said, "wow, you've really taken this stuff hook, line and sinker. You're going to die when you're 50." I just say, yeah, we'll I guess we'll see when you're in a hospital bed, taken meds out the whazoo and have no idea what's going on because of alzheimers thanks to your processed food and grain diet. As for the Bible, I would mention "In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD. But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor." You could also bring up Leviticus 3:9-10 "From the fellowship offering he is to bring a sacrifice made to the LORD by fire: its fat, the entire fat tail cut off close to the backbone, all the fat that covers the inner parts or is connected to them, both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the covering of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys." Basically, God likes meat & fat not bread ;-) LORDY!

The Inuit got more like 80% of their calories from fat. Vilhjalmur Stefansson book "The Fat of the Land" is finally online. In it he discusses the Inuit diet. It consisted largely of whale and seal meat and blubber, caribou, and salmon depending on the region. A slight correction… The Inuit got more like 80% of their calories from fat.
