euro diets

[Guest guest]

" the fact remains that the

Europeans diets were not superior and were probably considerably

worse "

This has been repeated over and over. Is it true? Which " European diet " are

we talking about? The shipboard diet? The wild eating on the march? The

euro-style preps of indigenous foods, or colonial fusion? The SAD, which is

post-industrial? The medieval pauper's diet? The grain-heavy diets of early

settlers, which they knew to be inadequate? Or the superb, hyper-NT, meat and

fat-heavy, fermentation-rich diet of a British smallholder? The Little House

books are a treasury of frontier food, and the Big Woods diet sounds pretty NT -

sourdough, homemade butter and cheese, their own cow, a pig to slaughter,

plentiful game including fatty autumn bear, etc. Wasn't the phrase " everything

but the squeal " ?

The variety of fatty organ-y wonder foods that exists in a European butcher

shop is overwhelming - and I mean Italian, French, Spanish, German. Nourishing

Traditions is based primarily on European foodways. So which European diet is

it that's worse?

I was talking about the diets of the early settlers versus the natives

they came into contact with, and how the essential one-sidedness of

the infectious genocide that occured can't be explained by soundness

of diet and soil.
