Birth control may be a better answer, although hard to enforce. ` [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: Paleolithic Eating Support List [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Wally Day Sent: Monday, December 20, 1999 5:47 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [P-F] Speaking of fish.... The life expectancy issue is an interesting one. Why don't the statisticians also quote a "normal" life expectancy - one which excludes infant fatalities and accidental deaths? In other words, take all of the deaths considered attributable to "natural causes" and come up with some kind of median value? *That* would be a much more useful number in my thinking. Now, on to fish. I think it's unlikely that a large percentage of the population would ever go paleo, but I can't help but wonder how they could all be fed if it did happen. I doubt very much if we could feed them all using range fed animals, so it would seem the likely protein source would have to be fish. I wonder: What kind of impact would replacing land animal foods with seafoods have on the health of each individual? Is it possible to "farm" fish without resorting to feeding them grains? Or, is it possible to get enough food directly from the ocean to feed that many people? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products.
