Any animal that eats the diet it was designed to eat (that includes Humans!) will be naturally healthier than one eating a diet designed by scientists and factories. Sick animals get that way because of what they are fed and how they are housed. Corn ... Keep Reading >

As long as hunters could bring in fish and game, we could gather plenty of weeds (vegetables), nuts, fruits, mushrooms, eggs, tubers, flowers etc. to go with the meat. We stayed close to fresh water. There was a rhythm to life that was not stressful unless something was chasing ... Keep Reading >
