Yeah, I wonder about the logic of that. Yes, prior to the invention
of agriculture, man probably did just eat vegetables, berries, and
meats. However, at that point man also had a life expectancy of like,
30 years.

This misses a point. Life expectancy went *down* with the
advent of agriculture. Before agriculture all of humanity
lived in hunter-gatherer societies and some such exist to
this day. They die from accidents, infectious diseases,
injuries. They do not get degenerative diseases ranging
from rotting teeth through cancer. The reason agricultural
societies bloomed even though they died younger is the extra
food meant extra fertility and the ability to survive in
crowds.

OTOH, one might argue that they didn't get degenerative diseases
because they didn't live long enough to develop them or they didn't
have technology/terminology to know they had alzheimers or ALS.

I don't disagree that life expectancy went down with ag society. But I
think that suggesting that people who lived to 30-35 and died without
degeneration weren't suceptible to them is not entirely on the mark.
Too many variables to suggest causality.

Grain was such a rare addition to the human diet that
to this day abotu 1-in-130ish are intolerant of one
type of grain or another.

Try 1 in 20. 5% of the american population is wheat intolerant.
Read that in an educational brochure at the VA hospital ER one day.
It was a brochure on Coeliac disease.

That's a hell of a lot of people. ;-)

And, those who are wheat intolerant are usually sensitive to Barley and
Oats as well.

This is probably why there are so many wealthy gastroenterologists,
and why the market for over the counter digestive aids is so well
developed.

Cheers!

Humans don't have a "natural" diet. We're opportunistic omnivores. We
eat live things, dead things, things other creatures have killed and

But you *did* just describe the natural human diet. Some
percentage mixture of animal products and fresh vegitable
products where the percentage doesn't hit zero in either
direction.

some few of us drink coffee that's been crapped out of a weasel...

You've peaked my curiosity. Coffee that's been crapped out of a
weasel?????

It's actually a lemur not a weasel so every once in a while
I'll see it listed as crapped out of a monkey.

There is a type of coffee from Madagasqar where a type of forest
lemur eats the whole berries. The berries have a coating that
is not seen by folks who only see the beans, and it is that
fruit coating the lemurs want. They swallow the fruit whole and
do not digest the beans just the fruit. The result is a bean
whose coffee is extremely mild. I've had it but I prefer the
stronger styles of coffee.

It still sounds gross. ;-)

Personally, I prefer Hawaiian Kona.

Exactly how someone figured out to roast the beans that have
been processed through the digestive system of a lemur and
rejected as undigstible seeds I'll never know. No matter the
Babylon 5 jokes about the Pak'mahra scavenger species, it is
humans that will actually try to eat anything.

<smiles> Thanks for the explanation.

If you want a fascinating hypothesis as to how humans learned to eat
certain items, read a book called "Animals and Hallucinogens".

That book explains why the Laplanders drank Reindeer urine.....

Bon Apetit'!

You get over it airhead. Go ahead and click the last link on that long
list of links and have your computer go into a tail spin.

tinyurls are a risk. You don't think so? Good for you. You just keep on
trukin...

Quoted message said:

On the "I don't open tinyurl links": Get over it. Not everyone is out
to get you. In fact, the vast majority are not. I've posted here, on
and off since mid-2002 without anyone's computer blowing up as a result
of anything I did. Or you could just google "low carb bread machine"
and be done with it.

Sigh, you try to do a favor...

You think everyone has put their recipes on the internet? I haven't.
And I therefore asked to see if some would get posted. I know how to
google you googlehead.

I also know how to dogpile, lycos, yahoo, msn, shall i go on? And
again, I don't click tinyurls or other url shortcut programs.

But deep down, the question is one that could be
answered with a little googling, or even google searching this group.
IMHO, the marketplace of ideas can answer the question as well, if not
better than, the current group of posters in the community (no offense
intended).

good low carb bread is a double oxymoron.

Anyone have any good low carb bread machine recipes?
I tried this one at:
http://www.lowcarbluxury.com/recipes/recipe-bread01.html
But I thought it tasted terrible. (My husband actually liked it
however.) I'm looking for more to try.
