Ötzi's last meal
Whole grains, wild game meat, and fat, to survive in the cold ...

Of particular interest is him consuming a poison fern to perhaps ward off his internal parasites.
And, without FDA approval.

Interesting just what they can find out so many years after death.

Re: Ötzi's last meal
The last few years when We still had cable T.V. I loved to watch the show "The Last Alaskans " about the Artic reserve the Government set aside in Alaska. The Family's that still live there are hunter, trapper, gatherers, who need meat to survive the brutal winters. many times I heard them say that You had to kill a Moose to get thru the winter as "you have to have the FAT". not much has changed in a few thousand years.
Re: Ötzi's last meal
City dwellers in modern times have had the luxury of eating fat free or low fat. Trying to live in the wilderness, you still need the calories fat provides.

Re: Ötzi's last meal
Yeah - that guy is fascinating all this time later.
Interesting comments on fat in the diet, especially in cold conditions.
Pemmican was the food of choice for all of the old Arctic and Antarctic
explorers. Dried and ground meat, rendered fat, and dried fruit or berries.
It keep s a LONG time, and has a very high calorie/weight ratio. The old
explorers subsisted on that and sometimes fresh meat for months or
years at a time - with no scurvy! A complete food. I can't remember where,
but in researching pemmican awhile back I ran into a discussion of fat
content. Grass-fed organic meat's fat is of a different composition than
grain-fed meat's fat. More vitamins, carotene, more Omega-3 fatty acids,
and like that. Fascinatin' stuff. Of course, back in the 19th century, pemmican
was made form either wild meat or meat that would have been fed differently
than modern beef. The Indians used to do a good business in pemmican.

Re: Ötzi's last meal
I heard about this on the radio the other day. It has to have been at least 25 years since they found him and they're still releasing new information all the time.

No wonder folks choose to be cremated.
Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Re: Ötzi's last meal
I wondered, while reading the latest on Otzi's stomach contents, if the researchers knew enough to consider whether that meal had been pemmican. Especially since there were two different meats in it.
