Yup!
For milllions of years humankind would wash all their food and wash
their hands before eating.
Ever notice how many people wash their hands at a public toilet? ....
virtually none.

What incredible stuff one can find out about on the Internet.

btw, here what the FDA has to say about E.Coli. Not that the most susiptble
are the very young and the elderly, which of course is most cruising sailors
out there.

And people simply didn't eat fresh greens or uncooked veggies in third
world countries. Nothing has changed in that area. Why would people
think things have changed? More intelligence on Earth?

The last nomads in southern Africa (later 1960's, early 1970's) were known to
eat upwards of 300 difference species of plants, and 60 species of animals,
without health problems associated with nutrition. By mid 1990's, they were
"domesticated" and eating about 7 species of plants and 4 or 5 species of
animals, and did indeed have nutritional associated health problems.

That sounds like a loaded observation. Were they (the nomads) suddendly
clustered together. Any refs re your comments?

I read an article on the day the psychotic computer HAL was born (January 19,
1996?) in Urbana ILL [grin]. the article was written by a man who did his PhD
on those nomads in 1968(?) and who returned to study them again in the mid
1990's. Much had changed, including the food habits, including the effort
worked each day for food (from about 3 hours a day as hunter/gatherers to 8
hours a day working in civilization).
