trad diets
We always thought we had some Native American blood too, but nothing came up in genetic testing. A tiny bit of Asian did show up.
Another thing to think of is that pigs and other stock were probably also fed up on higher VA foods (like corn) in America than in Northern Europe.

@bella would you like to give us the readers digest or any salient points? It does look great!
Certainly! The author goes through the remaining indigenous cultures in existence during roughly the 1700 and 1800’s and analyzed their diet and health. He noted health declined in groups as they shifted from their traditional fare to modern foods similar to the writing of Weston A. Price.
"Le rushed home to Canada where his mother died three months later, aged 66. It was just two years after her own mother had died almost three decades older, aged 92.
His parents had obeyed every western food fad over the years, whereas his grandparents, unable to read English, had stuck to the traditional fare they knew. This got Le thinking."
"He champions traditional diets and argues that we should be looking to our genetic and cultural history when deciding what to eat.Forget foodie fads and so-called superfoods, it’s the simple fare of our great-great-great-great-grandparents we should be consuming, whether that’s meat and potatoes or vegetables with rice."
"Le thinks our society in fact places too much emphasis on fruit and vegetables. "
"And as for vegetables, Le points out that they became part of our diets late - even after meat and dairy - because they contain toxins."
"So next time you fancy potatoes but feel you really ought to have broccoli instead, that’s something to remember."
