The thing is though, that celiac disease, diabetes, etc. occurs where?.... In geographical areas of excess.

Is it nature's way of sending us a message that we're overdoing it? Perhaps.

It boggles my mind also, but in a different way... I look at the rates of constipation... even in vegetarians and all I can think is... the human body was not meant to consume THAT much grain!

If we were hunting and gathering, grain would be a treat... not a staple. Meat would have times of abundance and times of abstinence. What would be eaten mostly? The easiest stuff to get, grasses, fruits, vegetables, leaves, etc. Rice is both easier to gather and to consume than wheat.

I think, all the time, about how we would be eating if we didn't have all this automation and excess.
