I think if we do adopt a more 'primitive' way in our eating we would cut down on many ailments in our Society like heart disease and obesity. If you look at a lot of the various prehistoric animals you see many that ate raw fruits and vegetables. Not many were meat eaters like we are taught in school.

They still live in a lot of processed food products these days and should be avoided at any cost. If it says "hydrogenated" - stay away.

Indeed, "primitive eating" is the way to go! My general scheme is: eat "food" and not "food products". The less food has been altered into a food product the better. I just would like to add that even saturated fats are not bad by default. In fact our body need saturated fats as it needs unsaturated fats. Here is a great article http://www.marksdailyapple.com/saturated-fat-healthy/ that you´ll enjoy. Sportive greetings, Elmar Jim,
