Turns out that FIT_Goat was right -- plants are trying to kill us! Most of the time, what fails to kill us makes us stronger, but not always...

I love the mini-conclusion: "Plants are trying to kill you, so you should eat a variety of them and get a little of each type of poison and not too much of one type."

I think this is the most interesting and thought provoking quote from the whole article:
The world has over 50 000 edible plants [yet] just 15 crop plants provide 90 percent of the world’s food energy intake, with three – rice, maize and wheat – making up two-thirds of this. United Nations, FAO
A scary BigAgra future - the way I see it.

Part of the premise of Paleo. Big agriculture and packaged foods are economically driven not nutrition based.
