A Quick – Brief 24-hour Clock of Ancestral History

I’m going to post these quick posts every so often as reminders for me.

We have been eating meat for millions of years and then just about 10,000 years ago we began agriculture.

10,000 years is a blip. Evolution and adaptation are a long game, we surely adapted tiny things in the last 10,000 years but not enough to live optimally on the foods of today.

Then if you start thinking about more recent things like hybridizing and crossbreeding of fruits and vegetables and year-round availability of produce in the stores.

Also, in the last 50 or so years more and more chemical compounds have been added to our food supply.

A Brief look at our 2.4-million-year history through the lens of a 24-hour clock

6 Minutes Ago – Agricultural Revolution.

• We abandoned our high fatty meat diet for a plant-based diet foods that were rarely ever eaten before.
• We started farming and eating grains, corn, and rice.
• Our brains began to shrink.
• New diseases arrived.
• More plant toxins in the diet.
• We became fat and malnourished.

• We started hybridizing fruits and vegetables.
• The fruits and vegetables consumed didn’t exist prior.
• Metabolic health declined more.

We added:

• Food additives.
• Synthetic foods
• Vegetable oils
• Fructose
• Artificial sweeteners
• Artificial color
• Preservatives
• High carbohydrate intake
• Ultra sugar and fine grains

All these changes are very recent, and our bodies aren’t designed to handle these changes, especially when it comes to antinutrients and the hybridizing of these sweeter fruits and vegetables.

The 24-hour clock shows what we were primarily designed to eat, which is animal protein.

And how the modern changes in the food supply have really shifted us away from that and our bodies aren’t designed to handle it.
