Consider this scenario: cereal grain eating was a dirty trick foisted on  
people by evil would-be tyrants. The result was they were crippled in  
mind, and somewhat in body so they could no longer be as  
individualistic/independent as formerly. They then would have needed to be  
more socially cohesive to make a living.
