Nature's design: Blood Types and Food [s]

AM Elchanan, PC Blood Types and Food

Your mention of not " typing " anything reminded me to pose the question about

blood typing. Can't remember the author's name but the book I recently read

was " Eating Right For Your Blood Type. " It includes long lists of all types

of foods that are helpful and harmful. He comes from a perspective that some

foods tend to agglutenate blood cells of some types of blood. What is your

perspective on this?

_____

Stan, whenever human " scientists " have ever attempted to divide our species

using some typology, they've ended up in some " master race " scheme. You can

hear this in the blood type book (as pointed out in the post from Roger

Haeske, which I forwarded to you earlier). The type O people seem to be the

top dogs.

 

All animals in a given biological family eat the same general diet, subject

to geographical variations. For example, Palominos and Arabian horses, and

Pygmy horses and zebras all basically eat grass, in Nature. All bears eat a

combination of smaller mammals (regional cuisine) and berries, honey, etc.

as available. All anthropoid primates eat (almost) exclusively fruits,

shoots, and greens, with fruits increasingly predominating as intelligence

rises and as the genetic makeup approximates that of humans. We are, in a

biological sense, at the top of the anthropoid primate family, and we, more

than any of the other species within our biological family, are designed to

eat predominantly fruits and greens.

 

Even if there were some " types, " they would undoubtedly be far more

intricate than could be determined by a single indicator such as blood type.

Should we eat differently because our skins are differently colored? Our

noses are differently shaped? Perhaps people with curly hair need more

Escopene (a nonexistent nutrient I just made up). Or maybe short people need

to chew more, or maybe that's tall people, since their mouths can hold more

food at one time. OTOH, maybe tall people should eat a larger number of

smaller meals, or a smaller number of larger meals. People with blond hair

(particularly blond women from the LA area) definitely need brain-building

nutrients, and Pygmies could probably benefit from meat laced with growth

hormones, but not too many, don't want to create upstart Pygmies, what would

the natives say?

 

I imagine by now I've communicated my perspective on this, as you requested.

:)

 

One final comment: ANY animal will eat just about ANYTHING to stay alive

during times of famine or food scarcity for any reason. Monkeys will eat

other monkeys, dogs will eat charred animals struck by lightning, humans

will eat insects and even other humans (the Donner party), etc. Chimpanzees

removed from their fruit-rich natural habitat learned to crack open and eat

nuts, just as humans did eons ago. But just because we witness such events

does not make them " typical " and certainly not " normal " or " natural " or

optimal under reasonably healthy overall conditions.

 

As we humans continue to destroy the planetary habitat, there will be more

and more occurrences of such aberrant behaviors, more and more occurrence of

manmade diseases showing up in wild animals, etc. But NONE of these

occurrences reflects Nature's design in balance, they are all responses to

extremely debilitating conditions our species is creating. If you go back

and reread Darwin, you may be reminded that he did not say " survival of the

fittest. " Rather, Darwin believed that species at war with one another would

eventually wipe each other out. Our species is presently at war with half

the species on the plane (give or take . We are experiencing great

" success " at wiping many of them out. The question is, when does the chicken

come home to roost? (I may have the question slightly off, but you get the

point!)

 

Hope you are feeling better and better!

Elchanan
