I do agree with you about chucking the junk. I think it is nigh on impossible to know for sure what our ancestors ate, but I would be pretty sure they wouldn't be too fussy. When it comes to filling the stomach and surviving, I think none of us would say, "Oh no, I can't eat that!" Luckily none of us living in the first world have a problem with lack of food. Maybe lack of good quality fruits and vegetables; at least where I live it is a problem. We have the usual unripe fruit that tends to go bad before it ripens. To think that just over the channel in France the most wonderful fresh ripe fruit can be bought at the local market. Freshly caught fish, with bright eyes and pink gills, unlike our supermarket fish, tired with sunken eyes, and dead for goodness how long. That is my rant by the way. Even if you wanted to eat the finest produce, here in good old England you can't. Maybe if you could shop at Harrods food hall every day, but I don't know for sure. Anyway you would probably have to win the big one on the Lottery to be able to afford to shop at Harrods!. By the way, thanks for a sensible post. It was nice to read.
