  I remember reading about this concept and how rice growing cultures differ from wheat growing. Our agricultural past has had long lasting impacts.

    Thanks for sharing, that was an interesting read.

    We are genetically built by the decisions our ancestors made. As far as I know everybody can eat cereal grain, that was a massive challenge for our ancestors who until then we’re meat eaters. I can eat dairy products, a lot of people from other areas cannot, like my wife who is from Asia.

    Off topic, but I find it fascinating, animals create their own vitamin c but humans don’t. I read it’s from an evolutionary mutation where our genes for vit c got turned off.
