DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER!!!

Have you ever wondered what things were like in the good old days?

What did they do all day? How did they have fun? What did they eat?

Whatever you imagine about that time and those days is probably wrong.

Chances are good that life was a lot harder…

but still, people were not so different from people today.

Chances are bad that the diet you are eating based on any peoples of the past…

Actually resembles a diet of anything other than that of other current humans who read the same book,

magazine article, or watched the same talk show nutritionist infomercial…

Most diet data on days gone by,

is based on what data diet we have found so far…

And despite the many revisions of ancient diets that have come from increased discovery

Sticking instead to the myth of the good old days.

In fact, fake ancient diet fallacies don’t stop with people…

it’s a fad with people’s pets as well!

Dog food pitches ancient diets all the time!
