People with WAYYY too much time on their hands....

[Guest guest]

Forgive me if someone already noticed this.

 

On January 10, an article appeared in the New York Times (which I get in Utah, where I just moved to, because the Mormon Church dominates all the other newspapers), called "The New Caveman and the City". In it, these guys have decided that they are going to eat healthy by eating what "prehistoric man" ate. I will give you the link in a minute, but here are some quotes from the article:

 

"...The one thing that Mr. Durant worries might spook a female guest is his most recent purchase: a three-foot-tall refrigerated meat locker that sits in a corner of his living room. That is where he keeps his organ meat and deer ribs.

Mr. Durant, 26, who works in online advertising, is part of a small New York subculture whose members seek good health through a selective return to the habits of their Paleolithic ancestors.

Or as he and some of his friends describe themselves, they are cavemen."

And then, the young man in the article goes on---

"....The caveman lifestyle, in Mr. Durant’s interpretation, involves eating large quantities of meat and then fasting between meals to approximate the lean times that his distant ancestors faced between hunts. Vegetables and fruit are fine, but he avoids foods like bread that were unavailable before the invention of agriculture. Mr. Durant believes the human body evolved for a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, and his goal is to wean himself off what he sees as many millenniums of bad habits.

These urban cavemen also choose exercise routines focused on sprinting and jumping, to replicate how a prehistoric person might have fled from a mastodon.

In a city crowded with vegetarian restaurants and yoga studios, the cavemen defy other people’s ideas of healthy living. There is an indisputable macho component to the lifestyle.

“I didn’t want to do some faddish diet that my sister would do,†Mr. Durant said."

Now, I almost am speechless, but I am going to give ya'll the link for the article so you can find it yourself and form your own opinion. I don't EVEN know how to face this.

Thanks, yarrow. I LOVED the last line I quoted from this doofus below which said he "didn't want to follow faddish diets like his sister."

And our eyes were not made for staring at immobile screens, so they'll have to give up their computers and their online jobs, too.

I find the idea fascinating. Paleos probably did eat that way and I sometimes feel that being vegan is actually a luxury, because if we had to struggle to survive, we'd eat whatever was available and be glad we had it. Humans can survive on all kinds of diets, that's why we're still here. I hope I never have to eat that way, though.Patricia--- On Wed, 1/20/10, cyn84074 <cyn84074 wrote:cyn84074 <cyn84074 People with WAYYY too much time on their hands....

And don't forget the short life spans of cavemen -- hey, dying
