Apes and monkeys, cows and donkeys, horsese and skunks, do not read food charts and calculate protein content. The perspective that Nature is wiser than modern science in determining the proper diet seems reasonable to me. Fruits and vegetables in their raw states are likely to have everything needed by the body to function at an optimal level. One can always add sprouted beans and wheat berries to the mix if protein issue is a hard one to deal with and weight lifting is a serious hobby.

Nature gave us this big lump of neurons in our skull that doubled our lifespans since 1870. (and rising) Don't separate the two. Nature gave us science. It's a gift.

Man invented commerce, and the circle fear - science - commerce - relief was closed. Business was booming as never before....
