[QUOTE="GraceK, post: 326896, member: 47233"] Ohhhh your Ukrainian wife's grandmother was soooooooooooooooooooooooo wise! My Polish father was full of that kind of wisdom too. We were talking about diet and nutrition and genetics many years ago and he pointed out the stature and physique of the average gorilla and the fact that it lives mainly on fruit and veg with the occasional bit of caterpillar thrown in for its protein content. Compare that to the average human diet of animal flesh, fish, fruit, veg, and look at our stature in comparison to a gorilla. You'd have thought it would be us that would be muscle bound and strong enough to be able to swing through trees wouldn't you? The whole question of 'You are what you eat' comes into question when you look at various animals and what they eat. Gorillas don't exactly look like their bodies are designed or caused by eating vegetation do they. My Dad wouldn't eat swede or parsnips because he considered those veggies fit only for pigs and very fattening. :) [/QUOTE]
