Ancestor Quote by Mehmet Oz

“Our ancestors had to eat whenever food was around. And we're actually still hardwired the same way. The big difference is we don't have to hunt for our food. For us, "hunting" comes down to sliding the milk carton out of the way.” quote by Mehmet Oz — Download Open image
