Sorry guys. It’s two hours per day of effort related to feeding the clan. The rest of the exercise would have been walking from camp to camp (Nomadic) and generally having fun.

I will change it. Thanks for the heads up.

Being an archeologist I donÂ´t agree on the two hours pr week.
In Scandinavia just prior to agriculture the ammount people had to work pr day was calculated to 1-2 hours pr DAY…..
While when agriculture came 6-10 hours pr day were not unusual.
However how do we defind work ?
Here it was defined work to get enough food, keep the fire going etc…
People in the past moved more and used more energy
- it is belived that a normal woman would need aprox 3000 calories pr day - while a ” normal” woman today is adviced to get 2000…

” Does he not know that primitive people worked much less than us - av. 2 hours per week is the agreed upon count thus far) ”

2 hours per week? Is that a typo?

Also the type of work (not to mention the whole lifestyle) is quite different. I’m supportive of Fallon’s work and the WPF. I do think that physical activity is an important part of health though, and that contemporary westerners probably need to find the ‘primitive’ way of moving as well as eating.

“I asked Sally if she would give Nourished Magazine a plug” Don’t worry, you were plugged plenty at Melbourne; Sally even had your web address in her powerpoint presentation at the end of her lecture :)

Thanks Meaghan and Millie. Sally was a little embarrassed by my rapturous response to her lecture. She wrote to me, “perhaps it could be toned down” a bit. I see her point but don’t know how to express how cool she is without calling her a goddess.
