I have heard that there are many edible tubers in Africa
today and I KNOW there are many wild
roots that can be eaten in North America today; not just
potatos!

FROM personal observation some people today live on fake
food for long periods of time and still live!
Sailing history indicates that a sailor can live four or six
months on poor food before dying. But a tiny bit of plant
food will keep a sailor in good health.

WELL it would not hold water, They ate meat in the form
of bugs. As man must have a few animal vitamins or can not
live to maturity- In some cases these are supplied by a few
highly nutritious insects. If Amadeus does not eat his bug
ration he will not be around a year from now! Unless he
takes synthetic bugs, ( a multivitamin pill.) This was all
discovered when some vegetarians moved to a place where all
plants were sprayed with but poison so they ate plants with
no bugs and came close to death before the facts were
exposed.

One person does not prove much. (Unless it's Me.) However
a diet like this ----"' His was a high grain, fruit and
vegetable diet with seeds and nuts,' ---- Is FAR SUPERIOR
TO what you may see in many grocery baskets tomorrow in
any supermarket.

WELL I WILL FIGURE that these guys lived before
vegetables were free of small bugs -- so they got their
essential vitamins from small unseen creatures that were on
their vegetables daily.

Also Two persons prove little more. but I will pose
that these two were extremely intelligent and active
persons ---------two traits that usually lead to unusual
lives and sometimes long lives under adverse circumstances.
It takes only a little imagination to visualize that
"sometimes for long periods" early peoples may have not
been able to catch animals but In my vivid imagination I
can not believe that they ever were unable to find insects
to eat for long periods! Can you?
Thimk for me too , Lorenzo
