In response to your question, "What Aquatic Ape theory?"

That's about where it stands.

After being so smart-mouthed, I will introduce myself.  I am using another
person's e-mail address because I am a caregiver in her house.  My name is
Patty, not Elsie, and I am an apparent Celiac and apparent
highly-functioning autistic.  I have not been diagnosed, since I am not
able to represent myself properly in interpersonal, face to face
interaction with a medical professional.  However, ingesting gluten makes
me very sick and causes me to break out in nasty bumps, so I operate on the
basis that I need a celiac diet.

I have been cooking from scratch for a long time, refusing to try to keep
up the old patterns (bread, cake, pie, macaroni).  I hope to find
additional ways to prepare food from scratch, especially basic foods that
are not likely to be contaminated.


I have cravings for fish, milk products, and yellow root vegetables.  I
know I need less carbohydrate and also more vegetable fat in relation to
animal fat.  I also need a fairly low-fat but not eccentric diet.  I am not
claiming that I have any secret of healthy eating, or that I am
representative in any way.

I am no expert, but I took a survey plus laboratory course in biology
recently, becoming awed and overwhelmed by the complexity of nature, and
also a course in human evolution at the sophomore level.  We did not study
aquatic apes in either course, leading me to suspect that few have heard of
this topic.
