Science News - A surprising food may have been a staple of the real Paleo diet: rotten meat

This makes a great deal of sense to me. Our ideas about which #foods and methods of preparation are tasty vs. disgusting are deeply cultural, even in today’s relatively homogenized world.

Much more so when our #ancestors lived in widely separated groups, in vastly different environments, and making use of whatever they could get was the only alternative to #starvation. Humans are the omni-est of #omnivores, and we assign cultural significance to practically everything we do.

Also, I’m always just happy to pass on any news that demonstrates how much the modern idea of the “#paleo diet” is bullshit. That’s a pretty strong preference on my part, but I don’t claim it as a cultural universal. 😉
