Are hunter-gatherer diets practical to feed the worlds population?
There are more than six billion people alive on the planet in the 21st century. Cereal grains provide more than half of the energy required to feed the world’s people. Without cereal grains, there would be massive starvation of unprecedented proportion on the planet. We have walked down a path of absolute dependence upon cereal grains — a path that cannot be reversed. However, in most western countries, cereals are not a necessity, particularly in many segments of the population that suffer most from Syndrome X and other chronic diseases of civilization. In this population, a return to a Stone Age Diet is not only possible, but highly practical in terms of long-term healthcare costs.
