Very interesting piece by Rachel Laudan. I haven't read "Guns Germs & Steel" yet but I'd like to think I would have noticed that all of the actual labor of turning raw wheat - or whatever - into something humans can digest is not counted as work.
My mother had a kitchen garden when I was growing up, and it was hard work. But nowhere near as hard as going out into the woods to gather acorns, or hunt wild turkeys, would have been.
I wonder if anyone has done a study to see what proportion of Paleo diet enthusiasts have ever actually picked a fruit, gathered an egg, or caught a fish. Or, for that matter, boned a chicken.
