Do you believe in space and time?
As a physicist once put it, "space and time are nature's way of preventing everything from happening all at once in one spot."

If you believe in space and time, chances are you already know what you should and shouldn't eat.
Different places, at different times, were inhabited by different peoples eating different foods they prepared in many different ways. Do you believe it?
Then came migrations. Still plausible?
E.g., your own grandparents may have migrated from Europe to America. True or false?
In Europe, your grandparents' ancestors never ate corn, tomatoes, or potatoes till some 300 years after America was "discovered," because none of those foods are native to Europe. Still true?
So your ancestors must have been eating foods native to where they lived, possibly for thousands of years! -- or longer than that! --
and it is at least a theoretical possibility that their offspring still may not have adapted to some of the new foods, nor to the ABSENCE of some of the old foods, nor to the drastic, SUDDEN change in the METHODS OF PREPARATION of those foods --
because evolution doesn't work as fast as "every three hundred years" for higher primates. Not even "every three thousand years," believe it or not. Adapting to new foods and new methods of food preparation is something that takes time. And adapt we can, and do. It's a matter of having enough time on our hands... How much time is enough time in evolutionary terms?
Of course there's many people out there who don't believe in evolution. But it doesn't matter, because it doesn't change our conclusion!
If evolution is real, people who started eating new foods due to migrations (of either peoples or foods or both) still have a chance to fully adapt to them in the next few thousand years. We did it before, we can do it again. Not today, not in a hundred years, not in a thousand... but give us a hundred thousand years and we'll be fine. If, on the other hand, evolution is nonsense, it means we're stuck with being unable to properly digest and metabolize all those new foods for all eternity.
Which is an even better reason to eat what your ancestors ate! The absence of evolution would dictate much more restrictive food choices in fact than the ones we presently make based on the assumption that we're able to change and adapt to new things.
I do believe in evolution, but not in instant evolution. So I'd much rather eat traditional foods, traditionally prepared... old and proven, not new and improved. Otherwise I would be wasting a lot of energy trying to force nature to eliminate space and time so as to allow everything to happen all at once in one spot... in my very own digestive tract.
