there is no need to be skeptical, the proof is out there.  just think about
how sweet a crab apple is, or a gooseberry, or a currant, or a cranberry,
or consider the size of a wild strawberry.  I assume the *native* fruits of
other cultures are also just as tart and/or small.

btw, there are other mail lists where the contents of the diets of folks
before the advent of grain (about 10k years ago) are (or used to be)
academically debated.
