Thanks for the reply Mark! I had searched “insects” on your blog to try not to post a question there was already an answer too… should’ve tried “bugs” too. Sorry! Thanks again for your time. Great Blog!!! Look forward to getting your book and learning more. Already signed my wife up for the newsletter too. -Rob

Hello Rob – Eating insects for most westerners isn’t cost, time or stomach effective. But yes, bugs can be a good source of nourishment. Check out this article: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/edible-bugs/

Since you advocate the primal diet and I have read on the blog (just found it last night) about other things that are used in the rest of the world, yet that are uncommon in America, I was wondering (the title of this blog got me thinking). If using modern day tribal groups as an example of some that are more like Grok than the average American, what ARE your thoughts on the consumption of things like grubs, insects etc? They seem to be used in the rest of the world as sources of food? Has there been any research that you’ve seen into it? Just wondering… if we’re the “weird” ones for sitting as opposed to squatting… aren’t we also going against the “natural” grain in excluding those sources? I can’t say I’ve ever looked much into it, nor do I feel the need to rush out and try some grubs… but I just had the thought since it was mentioned in this article with sort of a “Don’t worry, we wouldn’t do THAT” feeling to it (or that’s what I read). It made me flash to the squatting article where it mentioned we are the minority, yet think the rest of the world is “weird” for not sitting None of this was written to be argumentative, so hope it didn’t come off that way…. just a thought that passed through my head as I read… Thanks.

“To borrow an apt phrase I once overheard, if the cow stood in the sun, that’s cooked enough for me. ”

Love it. My favorite reply when asked how would I like my steak cooked is
“So a good vet could save it”
