I was born and raised with a wrist watch and three hearty meals per day
with lunch at noon, breakfast at 7 and dinner at 6.

But the more I think of it, the more that probably isn't too natural.  I've
seen an animal kingdom type show that has shown wolf packs having better
years than others.

Normal years would have the alpha pair breeding and all others chipping in
to assist.  But when food is plentiful,  beta and sometimes overs breed as
well, the pack population expands.

Some years, when food is scarce, there are no cubs.

The peoples of our world today, 5.8 billion of them, don't appear to have
slow years, in fact most areas such as the middle east, India, Africa and
Asia are having dramatic population increases which may see our population
double over the next 50 years. If a group of people can't find food, we
feed them -- if a wolf pack can't find food, the weakest die.

I'm thinking that some point in time, humanity maybe eating its own tail.

We don't experience that phenomenon of bountiful and lean years in relation
to food, just in relation to where we spend our vacation (on a cruise ship
Vs tenting at a local campsite :) when resources are limited.

I remember last year, on the way home down a back road, spying some lovely
black berry bushes loaded with ripe berries.  When we returned latter that
evening with our buckets, the bushes had been picked clean :( (you just
can't trust your neighbors <g>)

What, me worry -- not a chance -- we peddled up the road a half mile to a
small shopping centre and bought some raspberries and sat by a stream and
feasted.

For Diabetes, mainstream thinking has been smaller meals more frequently
throughout the day.

That's what I liked very much about the NeanderThin book when I first got
it. Ray's examples of eating times makes it look like he is eating all the
time, but in small quantities, yet there is no evidence of denial -- just
efficient use of a smaller quantity of food -- did anyone else get that
impression?
