Well, regardless of what you think humans are "meant" to be eating, the
fact of the matter is that wheat, barley, and so forth have been
staples of human consumption for eons. In fact, the rise of human
civilization has been directly correlated with the successful
cultivation of these grains.

You might consider the fact that we humans have molars - teeth
specifically designed for grinding fiberous materials like *gasp*
grains; and the fact that we've had them for as long as we've existed
as a species. All of which indicates that, gee whiz, maybe the idea of
humans eating grains isn't so far out of left field as you're
suggesting.

If we were not "meant" to be eating grains, we would not have teeth
specifically designed for chewing them. We wouldn't have enzymes
specifically designed for digesting them. We wouldn't have survived
and in fact *thrived* on them for thousands and thousands of years.

If you agree with the Adkins diet, good for you. If you start asking
doctors and nutritionists, some of them will agree with you - others
will not. But your assertion that humans are not "meant" to eat grains
is utter nonsense. Human anatomy says otherwise - as does human
history.
