I was thinking of all the postings to this list that
ask if this diet has *cured* this or that illness.  If
eating the perfect diet for your species made for
perfect health, wouldn't the world be more
overpopulated than it is now?  Yes, I know that there
are predators and prey, natural disasters, etc.. that
help to limit the population, but if eating healthy
foods made us all fit, wouldn't that pretty much limit
**most** death to just those things (theoretically, at
least).  I am thinking along the lines of survival of
the fittest.
  HG's have children on average once every 3 years. With the advent of
agriculture, women had children every 11 months. Even in 3rd world countries
today, to ensure survival, women have more children than they can feed, in
hopes that some survive.
