A
bit about bonobos and their diet:
A bonobo is the most recently identified great ape. It is closest to humans of all the great apes, even a chimpanzee, sharing about 99% the same DNA. Bonobos live in Africa and are an endangered species. Wild bonobos are happy pleasure loving creatures whose lifestyle is dictated by instinct and Mother Nature. They are very healthy and live long lives, dying from old age, accidents or predators. There is no evidence of degenerative disease like there is with their human relatives. Instinct is responsible for their diets instead of social custom and food manufacturers. Their diet is predominantly raw, wild and plant based: fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Since there is so much discussion about the correct diet for humans, bonobos can give us tremendous insight into what we are meant to eat and what kind of lifestyle we should have. In fact humans for millions of years had the same diet. The cooked-food animal-based diet is very recent in history and its rise parallels the rise of degenerative disease and related challenges. The bonobo diet appears to be a very viable option for long healthy happy lives given their physiological similarity to humans. |
