Recently a person very close to me (genetically) who shall remain nameless (my brother, Dale), decided to eat a diet consisting mainly of meat.
It is called the Caveman diet, and he chose it because he decided acting like a caveman was not enough. (its not hard, I do it constantly, (according to my wife, she's biased).
So, in an effort to understand (not really) I decided to investigate the claims, thoughts, and philosophy of the Caveman diet (summary: Eat Meat).
One website proclaiming the diet makes this ridiculous claim: “it's a healthy approach to making your body indestructible (underline mine, I didn't want you to miss that part).” what they fail to tell is is that indestructibility comes from the fact that you will be architecturally constipated (ie. able to shit bricks).
I did not just limit my search to proponents (although I should have, their claims were funnier) of said diet, because they are biased. I also looked up the diet on Wikipedia (which has no bias because it is crazy.)
There they point out that the diet was conceived of to battle diseases of civilization, which we have because we live longer in more comfortable surroundings. In Cave Man Times, they only had two causes of death: starvation and dinosaurs (note: Starvation and Caveman did not exist at the same time.)
Now, in an effort to debunk this dietary regimen (note: Cavemen did not have regimens.), I offer the following “insights”, mostly from “hind sight” (ie my butt)
1. It should be noted, that as a group our current longevity is attributable not to diet, but the fact that we don’t eat sewage any more (that I know of)
2. Cavepersons (they weren't just men) were hunter-gatherers. We still are, its not like Twinkies and Snickers just appear in my cupboard, I have to go find those fuckers (not the brand name).
3. Building on #1: Public health measures in America (and I guess other places, but I haven't been there) have ensured social stability, prosperity, order, and, hence, obesity (a major cause, it seems, of diseases of civilization)
In closing I would like to repeat an important point from above (note: this point has not been made above):
The Caveman lifespan was cut short by things like dinosaurs and lack of health care (seems eerily familiar) not cancer, diabetes, or heart attacks. Unless you count the heart attacks they had right before they were eaten by Dinosaurs. So eat good nutritious meals, and maybe, one day, you too can die.
