  1. Okay, if you weigh your portions, it ain't pre-agriculture. Okay? We don't have records on what troglodytes ate, because they hadn't started keeping records yet, but 1 thing we can be fairly sure of: They didn't have digital scales to weigh their portions, and eat on a rigid schedule. Kinda hard for hunter-gatherers that didn't even have sundials yet. Thousands of years before the Ptolomies conquered Egypt to settle that argument over whether the sun was a chariot, or a boat. Also, Natural=/=Good. Do you wear clothes? Piss down your leg, or use the fly? How do you feel about indoor plumbing? Okay, then natural=/=good for you, that's why you have indoor plumbing, and the internet. Honestly, just stop talking about how healthy your caveman diet is, on the internet, bro.

  2. There's something people don't seem to get about Evolution, and History: We're still doing it. We didn't stop evolving because we discovered fire. Look at a horse. Okay, now look at a Terrier. Any terrier. Okay, now look at a housecat, a housefly, a doormouse, a field mouse... Those all evolved in this Habitat we created for ourselves. Look at Covid 19. That evolved, to thrive in this habitat we created. Same thing with cooking. I expect in a few generations, we'll have men that are resistant to Nitric Acid Blockers for Erectile Disfunction. Because Erectile Disfunction is NATURAL.

  3. Keto: Carbohydrates aren't toxic, Ketones are. The long answer is that all life on Earth, as we know it, is made up of polymers, in aqueous solution. Those polymers are ultimately made up of Carbohydrates. Glucose is basically the 2x4x3 Lego block, for life. All life. As we know it. Even looking for life on Mars, we're looking for those signatures. So, basically, the Keto diet is trying to build the Lego Death Star, without using a single 2x4x3 block, and managing your ketone levels, to just under neurotoxic levels. (So you don't crash to the floor, when you drop the ball.) The truth is, carbohydrates are about as toxic, by molar mass, as the water all life is dissolved in. In fact, they're called "Carbohydrates" because they have 2:1 Hydrogen, and Oxygen ratio, on a carbon skeleton. So yeah, you can move onto Technics, but you literally can't survive without carbs. That's what you are.
