Microblog: What the Fruit?

They say fruit is nature’s candy but I’d argue that modern day fruit is closer to just candy.

🌾Many of us agree that we should eat like our ancestors. My definition of ancestors may be different than some but we can all agree that eating like we did before the invention of modern agriculture is probably ideal.

☠️Boxed, processed, sugary foods and inflammatory vegetable (seed) oils is less than ideal. Chronic exposure is toxic to our bodies. And in this case, food is poison.

❓But what about fruit?

⚖️As I said in my last community Q&A, consuming fruit is highly dependent on the individual.

🙃But let’s also not pretend that eating modern day fruit is consistent with ancestral eating. Our ancestors that picked berries did not see it daily or even monthly.

🍓Some berries are in season during the spring but most berries are only NATURALLY available during the summer.

🕒That’s THREE months out of TWELVE.

Just 25% of the year.

🫐So maybe you should only be eating fruit during the hot summer months, when fatty meats may not seem as appetizing. (It’s always appetizing for me. But one argument I get often.)
