That's not true for the simple reason that all ailments I have listed
are suffered in the western world by young people. Kalahari Bushmen
children are healthy ours are the essence of sickness

Besides Jared Diamond doesn't seem to agree with the studies on Bushmen
and other hunter/gatherer societies to begin with
The life expectancy is short for lack of foods and not diseases, as
Diamond explained the hunter/gatherer societies didn't consciously
adopt the agriculture revolution so they have been exiled on the least
fructiful and rich zones of their country, the room available to them
has been shortened year by year but the birth rate is high. But among
the average there are the outside of the average, people who make it
till later in life and the elderly of the Bushmen doesnt' definitely
suffer of the ailments that our eight, ten, twelve, fourteen, twenty,
twenty-five years olds suffer from.

If what I was talking about were diseases of age, the excuse we've been
provided to avoid taking our responsabilities and try to do something,
then our kids wouldn't suffer from them and would instead exhibit
vibrant health.
I would suggest a book by Joel Furhman "Disease Proof Your Child" and
while you can ignore the nutritional guidelines which many won't agree
with, it's a good book to realize how really sick our young ones are
and how they become sicker year by year and how such epidemic of sick
children (when not correlated to high populantion density and lack of
hygiene or food as in third world countries) is unknown to other
cultures

And now we come full circle to your original post. Read it again. You
found that the Warrior Diet did not work well for YOU. From that, you
extrapolated that it was impossible for an athlete to maintain such a
regimen. Others explained why it was possible, and you wanted argue
with them because it did not work for YOU.
