Synopsis

I find the rudderless nutrition and food industries in the calamity of an obesity epidemic appalling, and therefore i have made an effort to explain what has previously been unexplained. Basic food takes an evolutionary look at the assimilation to foods by mammals and by inductive reasoning brings us forward to a paleo - like limitation on what we may eat. In the process explanations ere offered for the failures of all diets and all intellectual and scientific approaches to nutrition. Also explained is the difference in obesity rates by different races and people of different ethnic background. There are considered to be about five thousand species of mammals, and only one applies intelligence to the choices of food consumed. We are the only specie to consistently get it wrong. To get it right, look for the naturalness of foods,instead of calories and nutrients. I define 'natural' very narrowly as being the food available during our evolution over thousands of generations.
