• Wild animals eat all of their food raw. Humans have not been doing that for hundreds of generations.

• Wild animals only eat what they themselves are able to find, kill and “prepare”. But most humans eat meat and fish although they are not able to kill animals themselves.

• Wild animals predominantly eat “wild” food not cultured food. “Meat eaters” (predators) eat other wild animals; “plant eaters” eat wild plants. Humans instead continue to eat relatively new, overbred or genetically manipulated plant species (e.g. grains, milk and milk products, soy).

• Wild animals eat their food as a whole and unprocessed. Humans split up their produce and eat or drink only parts of it (refined sugar, refined flour, juices, industrial foods).

• Wild animals move. Humans do this less and less.

These provocatively formulated descriptions of wild animals show that they are almost completely innocuous to all widespread diseases. Is that due to their natural environment or their diet? The following are comparisons between observational studies made on free-living wild animals and experiments made with wild animals living in captivity. That animals can fall ill in their natural habitats was observed in the national parks in the US: wild black bears pitch into the garbage cans stuffed with food rests. From there on out they grow fatter and fatter from previously weighing 120 kg to weighing up to 250 kg. They also die earlier and in their shorter lifespan fall ill of previously unknown diseases – the same diseases humans are increasingly suffering from since industrialization. Experiments with captive wild animals proved the observation that nutrition plays a greater role in being healthy than genes, environment or sports do.
