Curious; what do you consider our ancestry?  It's very well documented that
our forebearers ate meat-'n-veggies for about 2.7 million years.

Actually, our digestive system is almost identical to that of the dog, true
meat eaters.  Cows can live on grass but only because they have four
stomachs.

>3. What is exactly wrong with grains?

The list is very long, indeed.  Heart disease, diabetes, obesity, MS, polio,
rheumatoid arthritis; none of these existed until grains entered the human
diet and cannot be found among hunter-gatherers (there ARE a few still out
there).  I'm sure others will be able to give great citation of my
statements.
