Scientific American: Is food safety based on science? A lot of it isn’t.

Why would people think modern humans would be any different than those that came before us? Is Easter Island not a good enough example?

Also, the Harvard video is neat. It looks great.
Great video from the Harvard professor.
Glad to see you’re up to speed on the native Americans. I get tired of all the propaganda. Be sure and email your post to Kevin Costner.
I had a professor in grad school who was a self-proclaimed liberal. He had engaged in economic development work around the world. He told us that that native Americans used whatever resources were available to them in any way it advanced their living standards. An example from South America is the indigenous people in the Amazon. They burn plots of land because there is plenty of it and potash is the only fertilizer available to them.
I agree with Greg. Let’s put to rest all the nonsense about what good enviromental stewards the Indians were. It just isn’t so.
