I'm very interested in the subject of seasonality.  Has
anybody here experimented with only eating foods in
season?  Fruits, nuts and vegetables are obvious examples,
but also things such as blossoms, grains & eggs? Maybe
even meat from migrating fish, birds, & beasts, or hibernating
animals?  If so, what were your experiences?  Do you think
our bodies are adapted in such a way to find these foods
more beneficial at certain times of year than at others?

All this speculation may be all wet if we are mainly adapted
to the tropics, where, (I'm guessing) the seasons are not so
pronounced and things are generally more available all year.

Cheers,
Martha
