"Eat like a good little monkey." - Mr. Atwater

"Fruit and nut from tree and vine" - Mr. Atwater

"Humans are just monkeys with tennis shoes." - Whizz Kidder


The best and most healthy food for people to eat is fresh fruit and nuts from trees and vines.  This is most like the food our ancestor primates ate when they were still living in trees for 40 million years.

Vegetables are not that healthy if they have to be cooked.  If we cannot eat them raw and they must be cooked to break down the fiber and cellulose, then they are not optimal food.  Similarly, butchered animal meat and animal products that need to be cooked before eating are not optimal food for health and longevity.

The best food to eat is the food our monkey ancestors ate when they were living in trees.

"Fruit and nut from tree and vine."

 Now that we have modern shipping, transportation and food storage techniques, it is fairly trivial to always "eat like a good little monkey" and enjoy maximal health.


Remember to "eat like a good little monkey" and you will be happy that you did.
