Summary of Dan Saladino's Eating to Extinction

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 We are born to eat wild. Our bodies have not changed much since the days when we lived as hunter-gatherers, but our way of life and diets have changed dramatically. Today, just a few people continue to source most of their calories from the wild.

#2 The foods we are about to meet are all important in understanding why wild foods are so important. They provide less than 1 percent of all the calories consumed today, but they account for a much higher proportion of nutrients.

#3 The Hadza are a tribe in Tanzania that still live as hunter-gatherers. They are the last people in Africa to practice no form of agriculture. The bird that helps them find the honey bees’ nests is called a honeyguide.

#4 The Hadza are a modern tribe that lives by foraging, and their diet is a great example of how humans evolved. They love honey, which is why they always listen for the honeyguide bird when collecting it.
