Document Summary
Over the last 10 or 20 years dieting has become a major concern in western cultures. Some people have chosen to adopt vegetarian diets mainly for moral reasons (concern about the treatment of animals or concern about damage to the environment), but some people have become vegetarians because of perceived improved health benefits. In two or three paragraphs discuss your own views on what a healthy" human diet is. However, it"s important that you keep in mind both what you now know about traditional hominin diets, traditional hunter-gatherer diets (they love fat! ), the diets of our close cousins - chimps and bonobos - (specifically, what we talked about tin this lecture) as well as how national selection processes work. A healthy diet is a balanced one, and one that provides the body with essential nutrition. Western civilizations of the 21st century, humans have access to foods that were once available in remote areas of the world.
