There are so many conflicting theories about diet that it makes sense to look back and see what humans ate and thrived on as they evolved. In recent decades there's been a lot of new theories with very little scientific research to support them, and at the same time, humans are getting fatter and sicker than ever before. Low-fat, high-carb, vegan, and other new diets all sound good, but there's no history of these diets ever being utilized by humans for any substantial amount of time. This film looks at the history of human diets and has some great concepts on what a healthy diet should be. The film touches on Weston Price's studies done in the 1930's, where Dr. Price was able to meet people who were raised on primal diets that had not yet been influenced by processed food. The results were quite surprising, and he published a book called 'Nutrition and Physical Degeneration', which should be a must-read for every medical student.
