tell me - what percent of calories IN THE WILD is in grains versus in meat ?

have you ever come across a field of corn or wheat in the wild ?

the roads around here are littered with run over Deer.

grains were used by civilizations around the time of Ancient Egypt and there are drawings around that time depicting agriculture

but if you look at really old cave drawings - there is nothing to suggest agriculture existed in that time

Up to about 30% by many estimates. But the uncertainty bars are very wide. Would have varied enormously by season and ecotype.

Yes, I have seen patches of wild Nardoo growing here. And that's in AU, with the most miserly edible plant inheritance of any inhabited continent. Middle Eastern wheat and barley had much larger and more palatable seeds even before domestication.

Pre-industrial population densities were very low, and pre-agricultural even more so, didn't need large fields of monoculture.

what modern day wild animals have diet consisting mainly of grain ? do monkeys eat grains ? do cows ? do wolves ?

only species i know that eat grain is birds.

in fact the bastards ate up most of the seed on my lawn but the joke is on them because it was treated with some kind of fungicide ...

Cattle totally will given a chance. Most herbivores will seek out grain in preference to leaves.

Is a 100% grain diet good for them? No, but its not a serious option in their ancestral environment, so there was no fitness cost in optimising their preferences for grain.

ask yourself this in fact - why does nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c raise sheep instead of growing corn or wheat ? now realize that for the same exact reason his ancestors would also be shepherds before they would grow grain.

his delusion is that he thinks his ancestors were wrong and some fucking "doctor" on YouTube really loves him and cares about him and is telling him the truth about how he needs to eat the bugs.

Mike doesn't believe that Klaus Schwab and WEF are real ... he "believes in the science"

unbelievable level of naivete to entrust your health to some sociopath who became popular on a platform owned by billionaire Jews ...

it's not that he's stupid - it's that he simply doesn't see the whole picture like i do.

nothing in this world is isolated. everything is interconnected.

knowledge, like health, is holistic. you are either healthy or you're not. and you either understand the world or you do not.

idiots think they can improve their health by treating some symptom, or that they are intelligent because they know some bit of trivia.

but like Elon Musk said knowledge is a tree - you need roots and a stem before you can worry about the leaves.

the problem with all of you techies is you don't have any roots or stem - you are just leaves carried by the wind. you know how to code but you don't even know how computers work, let alone how the world works.

meanwhile i know everything ... except how to code. LOL
