>>15280 10,000 years ago is roughly the start of the neolithic revolution, with the rise of all sorts of shit we couldn't have predicted would have a deleterious effect on our long-term health. You probably mean a few hundred thousand years earlier than this.
Our diets were whatever they were. To what standard are you comparing them that you say they weren't "ideal"? Long periods of famine, fasting, inadequate food supplies? We're coded to handle that, so it worked for us. Our nutritional needs adjust over time to match what there is to eat. 10,000 years is not enough time to make any significant genetic adaptations to our new diets, though.
So again, fasting is a part of our genetic reality. Just because a thousand pundits talk about the miracles of all-day-long grazing, that doesn't change the reality of our own genetics.
