i think that seeds are meant to be eaten by animals and people in nature, the
question is what level of energy and life extension do these nuts and seeds
provide and could there be a different diet that would provide more energy and
life extension. some animals before humans came on the scene became extinct
possibly due to their limited wisdom of how to optimumly evolve in nature. the
same thing could happen to our species if we keep thinking a stone age diet is
the ultimate diet approach for people, even tho it is obvious that it is
better than the S.A.D. diet.

maybe seeds are meant to be eaten by animals and humans until they gain the
knowledge and wisdom of how to refine and extend their life by carefully
examining scientifically and intuitively-instinctively the optimum ways of
getting energy. raw breathairians may find any food objectionable(just jokin
here but who knows the future evolution of our species and how it relates to
foods we eat?)

i saw on public tv a nature show where a band of chimps were all under a nut
tree eating nuts. the amazing part was that they used specialized
sticks(tools) to open the hard shells and it required a long teaching process
by the parents. i'm sure that's not the only food they ate but it shows they
instinctively find them eatible............happy wellness evolution......forest
