From then to Now
I mentioned a few specific topics in the first blog , other than all the issues I discussed along with them. I'm going to give a brief outline here of the full range of this blog and what I'll be trying to discuss and explain.
I'd like to start with this thought:
If large amounts of meat and dairy can kill us, then is it smart to eat even small amounts of these products? Hardly, in my opinion. You won't get heart disease from brown rice and broccoli!

I'm sure I'll keep adding to this list as I think of more subjects, but I'll stop here for now and begin the long journey from primate diets to current diets.
