[[A young woman offers a cookie to a man.]]
Cookie advocate: Want a cookie?
Hunter-gatherer: Nah, thanks - I don't eat refined foods. We didn't EVOLVE for it!
Hunter-gatherer: Our bodies aren't OPTIMIZED for any of that stuff. I eat meat and nuts and raw veggies only!
Hunter-gatherer: AND I don't wear shoes. They make your feet weak!
Hunter-gatherer: I barely wear clothes at ALL! Only NATURAL fibers, of course!
[[The hunter-gatherer has put on a large mask and tank.]]
Hunter-gatherer: And since we evolved to breathe clean, UNPOLLUTED air, I carry around this tank!
Hunter-gatherer: Masks weren't around in the Pleistocene, though, so I have to constantly inflate and reinflate this SEAL BLADDER
Hunter-gatherer: I basically breathe through a bagpipe
Hunter-gatherer: I can't wear glasses, since those were invented too late, so I stumble around a lot...
Hunter-gatherer: The TDAP vaccine's also modern, so I have to hope I never step on a rusty nail. So far I've been lucky!
Hunter-gatherer: But I'm pretty happy. Got a healthy lifestyle. In touch with nature. Talk to birds a lot.
Hunter-gatherer: Tried to set up a blog, but blogs aren't paleo... so now I drum on rocks and whittle spears. It's a life I chose.
Cookie advocate: Are you sure you don't want a cookie?
Hunter-gatherer: Okay LOOK I need to be clear that the issue isn't what I WANT it's what I ALLOW MYSELF to HAVE because I dearly need the illusion of CONTROL
