Ever wonder how we know what to eat?

Sure, most of the food you are eating are the same food your parents fed you when you were a baby and in many cases, force fed you or you will otherwise go to bed hungry if you didn't eat it because that's all you were getting.

But I am talking about the bigger picture.

How do we know what to eat.

Think back 5,000 or 10,000 years.

Imagine how many of our cave dwelling ancestors died trying to figure out what to eat?

"Hey Joe Rock, Buddy? Have you seen Two-Caves Mitch?

What? You haven't heard? Two-Caves Mitch died trying to eat a sharkus gigantus."

Or how about Fossil Dan who died from eating the Red Mushrooms or the yellow berries?

His mother told him to only eat the white mushrooms and the red berries and he forgot.

Or how did someone figure out you could eat Lobsters?

After all, who would had even considered eating Lobsters?

It's scary looking. It has an armored tough shell! It has 2 big pincher claws!

I am sure there were more appetizing looking choices around than a Lobster.

Or the first person who ate raw oysters.

What did the reaction on his face looked like?

Yuck!

They didn't even horseradish cocktail sauce back then!
