I've only represented our diet of grain as unnatural, which is correct. You are projecting an argument of "unnatural = bad" onto me, which I have never claimed.
The facts are not a twisted narrative, they are plainly facts. You obviously cannot refute them (no one can), so now you construct a strawman.
I'm saying that "unnatural" is wrong and meaningless.
Humans were eating wild sorghum at least a hundred thousand years ago based on stone tools found in Mozambique.
We were actively sowing fields between 10 and 20 thousand years ago.
Sure we domesticated wheat, but what makes you think we didn't domestic ourselves as well?
You might as well say that cooked food is unnatural.
Great, so you agree that I'm correct. Whether we domesticated ourselves or not is another matter entirely and does not change anything about processed grain being an unnatural diet for primates.
Your argument of semantics is irrelevant to and a distraction from the fact that nearly all animals eat both plants and meat.
It doesn't matter if grain isn't natural to other primates. It's natural to humans.
Cooked food isn't natural to other primates, but humans basically require it.
