					<description><![CDATA[All human hunter-gatherer groups that have been studied incorporate meat in their diets. Studies have shown that the total dietary contribution of meat varies a great deal, and seems to increase with latitude so that foragers in subarctic and arctic regions eat a lot of meat while those living near the equator eat less.

					<description><![CDATA[I have written before of insects in the Ituri Forest. (Oh, and here too.) When it comes up that I&#8217;ve spent time there, certain questions often come up, and one of them is: &#8220;Did you eat bugs.&#8221; Every one has seen those National Geographic specials where some natives somewhere are eating insects, and of course, &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2011/08/19/we-live-in-little-houses-made/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">&#8220;We Live In Little Houses Made of Beans&#8221;</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I have lived among Cannibals, according to a lot of people who claim to know. The number of times that the &#8220;tribal&#8221; people of the Congo have been called cannibals is too great to be counted, most notably in great literature like The Heart of Darkness but most commonly, I suspect, from the pulpit or &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2011/08/07/among-cannibals/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Among Cannibals</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
