100 Million Years of FoodA fascinating tour through the evolution of the human diet, and how we can improve our health by understanding our complicated history with food. There are few areas of modern life that are burdened by as much information and advice, often contradictory, as our diet and health: eat a lot of meat, eat no meat; whole grains are healthy, whole grains are a disaster; eat everything in moderation; eat only certain foods and on and on. In 100 Million Years

A fascinating tour through the evolution of the human diet, and how we can improve our health by understanding our complicated history with food.

There are few areas of modern life that are burdened by as much information and advice, often contradictory, as our diet and health: eat a lot of meat, eat no meat; whole-grains are healthy, whole-grains are a disaster; eat everything in moderation; eat only certain foods--and on and on. In 100 Million Years of Food biological anthropologist Stephen Le explains how cuisines of different cultures are a result of centuries of evolution, finely tuned to our biology and surroundings. Today many cultures have strayed from their ancestral diets, relying instead on mass-produced food often made with chemicals that may be contributing to a rise in so-called "Western diseases," such as cancer, heart disease, and obesity.

Travelling around the world to places as far-flung as Vietnam, Kenya, India, and the US, Stephen Le introduces us to people who are growing, cooking, and eating food using both traditional and modern methods, striving for a sustainable, healthy diet. In clear, compelling arguments based on scientific research, Le contends that our ancestral diets provide the best first line of defense in protecting our health and providing a balanced diet. Fast-food diets, as well as strict regimens like paleo or vegan, in effect highjack our biology and ignore the complex nature of our bodies. In 100 Million Years of Food Le takes us on a guided tour of evolution, demonstrating how our diets are the result of millions of years of history, and how we can return to a sustainable, healthier way of eating.

Good chew toy for an aggressive chewing dog
Size: Large
Well built for an aggressive chewing dog. I wouldn't say indescribable but it has lasted longer than all other chew toys he's had.

Ball is heavy due to solid construction
Size: Large
Just received the large ball. Construction appears to be excellent and time will tell with my aggressive chewer. That being said I ordered the large because our Mini Goldendoodle loves playing with our daughter’s dog large ball. I may not have read description close enough but ball is solid and weighs a considerable amount. Our dog soon learned to pick it up but I’m just disappointed that it isn’t hollow like ones our daughter has.

Love this
Size: Medium
My dog is a beast and loves to shred through any toys we get him but with this it’s keeps his teeth busy and off the furniture and there is no signs of any damage. Super high quality and perfect for any fur baby that’s loves to chew
