Very interesting. I thought Mastodon was a social media platform.
Yes, apparently the fruits of today did not exist in these super sweet form when we left the caves.
The debate goes on.

It is. It is named for the extinct genus of elephants.

Many, many fruits with superb nutritional qualities have long predated agriculture. We didn't create nutritious fruit, but have enabled some fruit to be agriculturally profitable. Because of hierarchical corporate institutions' profit seeking, the species Big Ag grows are those that best create ROI - and this, more than any other reason - is why so much of what veg we eat isn't particularly nutritious. If corporations can profit by feeding us poison, that's what corporations will grow. Plants have a completely different natural selection purpose, and nature will cause a plant that poisons it's seed dispersal species to decline in population as a result. Corporations that kill a bunch of customers can just invest in a different business opportunity.
Great insight. Do these feuits and veg with good things, also carry toxins and sugar ?
And the sugar, apart from other known harms, apparently ferments into alcohol.
Allegedly, we're all alcoholics !!!
There are a lot of abandoned homesteads hereabouts, and homesteaders back in the day grew a lot of apples. Today those apples fall in the woods and ferment on the ground, where bears and other animals eat them, sometimes getting quite drunk. It's not only us that use alcohol.
So now the old Homesteaders are eating Grain fed chickens and anti-biotic laced beef.
Where do we go from here ?
To the bugpods.
