In a nutshell, eating a traditional diet means you are brave enough to turn away from all the nonsense of food rules thrown at us today and willing to embrace REAL FOOD. In it’s whole, unprocessed form. And become NOURISHED.
Which brings us to LARD:
Did you know that YOUR ancestors have eaten lard for thousands of years? And yes, while we do have a little longer life expectancy than our most recent ancestors used to, it’s not because we eat better…it’s because today we have modern medicine to prevent infant mortality. See, life expectancy and life span are two different things. Life expectancy is not a recorded number of the age people died, but rather an average of all deaths. Considering the high infant mortality rate due to unclean conditions and poor medical care, it would make sense that the average number gets easily knocked down to a low life expectancy. Because of infant mortality rates, the average life expectancy for men in 1907 was 45.6 years, in 1957 it was 66.4, and in 2007 it reached 75.5. The increase of life expectancy is due to a decreasing infant mortality rate which was 9.99% in 1907, 2.63% in 1957, and 0.68% in 2007.
