Who's the Caveman?

I read an article how Unilever brought scientists together to try to re-discover what was the diet of the caveman of 12,000 years in order to "enhance" modern day nutrition.

It seems the hunter-gatherer our ancestors subsisted on vegetables, fruits, nuts, roots, and meat. This is not rocket science. There were no cereal, bread, potatoes or even milk. People only adapted to milk later on (although there are many today who are lactose intolerant.)

"Palaeolithic man was not a raging carnivore. He was an omnivore who loved his greens. He would have gathered seeds to eat, used plants and herbs for flavoring and preserving fish and meat, and collected wild berries."

Yeah, everyone likes to spew how the cave people were so primitive and backward.
And how cultures who "resemble" them are also to be pitied. Well, nutritionally, they were doing far better than we are in our modern world. With today's genetically modified 'foods', hybrids, and Twinkies-stuffing that do nothing to truly nourish us, who exactly is the backward cavemen?

G-d bless!

Hello world!

I'm Chaya writing to you from the beautiful and holy city of Jerusalem in Israel. In this blog, Living Essence, I hope to write and share things that are important in my life as I strive to be a real, happy, and healthy individual. These things range from Torah-G-d's living words, faith/ emuna, and nutrition, among some other things.

There's a concept in Kabbalah about the phrase "living essence," in Hebrew "chayah." It's written in Torah that G-d blew spirit/ breath/air into Adam-the first man, thus breathing life (and speech) into him. Living essence is considered the breath of G-d even before He blew it into Adam. Think of someone taking a deep breath...the lungs expand as it fills w/ air. It's that air in the lungs I'm referring to. And when that air/ breath gets breathed out who knows what will come out? A little bit of air? Alot? That air/ breath in the lungs is full of mystery and potential!! alot of power since it's coming from G-d.

G-d is constantly giving us life. He's constantly breathing air into us, filling us with great potential, awesome power.
Question is this: I am doing what I can to connect to that potential? Am I allowing my channels to be open to "breathe Hashem's breath?" to become the best person I can be? Or am I stuffing up my ears, shutting my eyes, and talking a whole lot of senseless talk when I should be talking truth? or listening?
gulp.
That's the question I'm asking myself.
And I'm searching for answers...
