eating the way we evolved to eat is orthorexic??
Implying we stopped evolving at paleolithic times is mildly amusing to me
10,000 years ago is a blink of an eye in terms of how long humans have been on the planet. in the last 10,000 years, no, we haven't evolved all that much - at least not biologically. Sure science and thinking have grown in leaps and bounds, but physiologically we are almost identical to pre-agriculture humans.
Except we have the tools necesary to properly cook certain foods, mill others, and an agrarian society is the primary reason for community living and modern civilization. Otherwise we would just be nomads and wanderers trying to go find and kill our next meal
absolutely - but just because we have the tools to do it, doesn't mean our organs have caught up. especially since we've genetically altered wheat in the last 50 years or so. It'll take thousands of years for our physiology to adapt to it, and by then i'm sure there will be something else!
What makes you think our organs need to catch up? Why do you believe that the organs of the paleo man couldn't process grains?
why would a paleolithic man's organs be able to digest something he didn't eat? there's no logic there. Grains are small, hard-shelled, and generally indigestible by humans in their raw state! They'll come right back out the other side completely intact. You think the paleo men were baking bread?
paleolithic man didn't farm. they didn't put all the wheat in a row so they could eat a bunch of it at once. They ate what they found, and what gave them the most bang for their buck. That means fruits and veggies and high-fat meat. They did not eat grains, so their organs never needed to adapt to be able to do so. In the last 10,000 years we've gotten better at it, but then in the mid 1900s we completely revamped the wheat grain, and now our bodies have to adjust along with it.

I gave up food months ago. I only eat cotton balls now. Organic ones.
2 weeks ago for me, but I do have a glass of wine with them.0 -
I wouldn't worry so much about carrots being rinsed with some chlorine. That's to kill bacteria, so you don't get sick. Chlorine evaporates, so it's gone by the time you're eating carrots minus germs from the soil the carrots were grown in.0

I asked before and still haven't got a response. What is wrong with carrageenan?0 -
at this point i feel like every food is going to get a bad rep at some point or another- yesterday it was fat, today its gluten... "omg i ate 5000 cookies and got fat, i better exclude all wheat from my diet including whole grains because they are obviously detrimental"... i pretty much just avoid anything that has sketch man-made additives or trans fat.0
