On toys

I've been checking out new diets or eating plans, which I thought I'd never do again, but I couldn't help it, I'd heard so many good things about diets purporting to be based on what cave people did and ate for several million years, before inventing agriculture about ten thousand years ago. We were hunter gatherers, not farmers. Men went out to hunt and women went out to gather berries, leaves, roots, eggs and insects. Bread wasn't the staff of life - nobody baked bread. Kids got small spears as toys. We ate meat that was hunted down - no grains and no dairy. We ate various vegetables and fruits in season. Yet we were much healthier on average, if we survived childhood.
