(2:00) They're doing fantastic work trying to bring information about healthy lifestyles to their small mountain community. Bill is the author of the book "Eat Like a Human", which helped launch the Paleo movement. (8:00) Bill shares his background growing up and how he transitioned into his current lifestyle. He was a heavy kid who got picked on a lot. He later became an athlete but had an unhealthy relationship with food. As he got older he became aware of the link between hunting and his background in archeology. Vinnie shares his relationship with food sources from living in a rural area and fishing and hunting. (12:45) He asks Bill about the current state of Western society's relationship with where their food comes from. (16:45) Bill emphasizes that he does not enjoy killing an animal; however, he feels a certain responsibility using the animal, nose-to-tail. (19:00) Vinnie shares a similar story about pheasant hunting in the UK. Bill goes through the ancestral origins of tools, hunting, and the evolution of our ancestors. (28:00) Bill shares knowledge about how our ancestors created tools, which may be better understood by viewing the episode video. FIRE AS A TOOL Vinnie asks about fire and the human diet. (46:00) Bill refers to Richard Wrangham, who wrote "Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human". Vinnie shares input on fire and the varieties of ways we use it, such as engines. (57:00) Bill states how the disconnect in society is real and how it affects several things about human diet and habits. (1:00:00) How standing upright and creating shoes affected the species. The Industrial Revolution also added to the disconnect. To "eat like a human", what do you do? (1:05:00) You need to know not only what to eat, but how, to get optimal nutrition. Animal fat has been in our diets for 3 million years. Bill is going to return for Part 2 to answer more questions. They discuss Sardinia and the longevity of the inhabitants and their lifestyle.
