Systemic Problems of the Modern Lifescape


Research into violent offendeers provides more evidence that our modern diet is mismatched for our Paleolithic body and this mismatch also has social implications. Research with British and US offenders suggests nutritional deficiencies may play a key role in aggressive bevavior. I won't go as far as the article to call into question culpability (if anyone is culpable its our food suppliers and governments), but the link between diet and behavior makes it so vitally important to re-educate ourselves concerning our Lifescape as I like to call it. The more closely we can approximate an environment that matches our lagging genetics, the better for all as individuals and society.
