I'm following NeanderThin in part.....and enjoying it very much.....
feeling much more alert.....more energy......and lost another
couple of pounds this week.............I say "in part" because
while I have cut most of the "starchy" food out of my diet,
I do use some tubers, and I occasionally toss some barley
in the soup pot.........as I believe our ancestors did........maybe
they didn't have metal pots.......but rawhide pots can be
used to boil water and make stews......and really tough meats
can be turned into useful food if you boil them.......and I
see no reason not to assume that our ancestors did so and
tossed seed heads from grasses into the pots along with
tough hunks of meat, tubers, green stuff, fruit and whatever
else they found............you know, beer may be older than
we all think.......if you had a rawhide pot of grass seedheads
that you boiled.....ate some, left the pot sitting by the
fire over night.......the next afternoon you might find that
the stuff had fermented.......which is the beginning of beer....
