Frazz by Jef Mallett for March 18, 2016

So, would ‘nom-nomnivorous’ mean eating anything delicious?

Why is there a ghost child in the first panel?

And don’t forget kids, it isn’t necessarily what you eat, but more of how much you eat.

Well, you are who you eat.

Our ancestors ancestors ate everything that they came across.Or, they at least tried to eat it. This is why we now have a need for a wide variety of foods.Leafs, roots, fruits and yes, paleo people, nuts and grains.As well as anything that they could kill. Including rodents and insects.Plant oils and animal fats are important.The problem that modern humans have is finding the right balance.

…that statement should bring out a couple of trolls.

we eat really bad cuisine. arby’s. haggis, chitlins, durian, escamole, hakari. lutefisk. surstormming, kopi luwak, casu marzu, balut, ham and banana hollandaise, scotch eggs, jellied tomato refresher.

Wrong.Hunter gatherers were harvesting grass seeds (grain) long before farming.

As in realizing that all you can eat is an option not a goal!

Once, in Ripley’s, I found a blurb about a man who decided to eat nothing but Oreo cookies and vitamin pills for the rest of his life (and probably milk, though not mentioned). Sounded cool, and I couldn’t wait to grow up and give it a try. Years later, I came across it again and realized that he died in his 30’s.

Or perhaps, just perhaps, it was intentional, having a figure in the foreground but not wanting that figure to really be part of the scene.

I don’t know if anyone else has encountered this, but it drives me bonkers when people who want you to know they are very proud of not being vegetarian refer to themselves as ‘carnivores’. MY response: “So, if you have a burger, you will not want lettuce, pickle, tomato, cheese, relish, mustard, ketchup, mayo, or even a bun. You will also not want a baked potato or a side of fries. No dessert, of course, they’re almost all made from fruit. And no beer to go with, because that stuff is pretty much liquid bread.”
