But that is not allowing for the hording nature of man. Many

times I have seen primates stash food and go back later to eat

it. Man thinks, which is what separates him from animals. If you

find an abundance of something you don't sit down and gorge until

you can't move. You eat and save some for when you can't find

anything. Use common sense - we didn't suddenly go from naked

hominids to the internet, they have found plenty of archeological

evidence of hunter-gatherers working together. I really doubt

that we are all that different from early man - I will save a

nice tidbit for later.

You make a good point, but it may be that our genetic nature is more like
the hunters who ate when they found food. As civilizations began, so also do the
problems of gathering and eating varieties together. There is no evidence our
genetic make up has changed that much during civilization. My point is that
certain foods, even though they might taste good at the same time, are not well
digested with each other, e.g. fruits with meat, and I have learned this
the hard way, so just wanted to offer it to others.
