There he is again getting an anti-meat comment slipped in.

Uh, no. I have seen nothing that shows grains were consumed prior to
the
Near Easterner's collection of them starting 17,000 years ago. Then
they
started farming them 10,000 years ago. But those of us descended from
Northern Europeans would have started on them much later. Plus,
grasses as
a form of plant life are fairly recent to the earth.

It's the truth that at this point most of the world population is
totally
dependand on cereals and there's not much that can be done about that.
Also it's probably true that most people do okay with moderate grain
consumption.  But what they aren't is the optimal food source so many
people make them out to be.

Don.
