This way of eating enabled them a great variety in the choice of food, but it also required a certain amount of effort in the form of physical engagement, especially when hunting. About 8000 years ago, human communities switched from a hunting-gathering to a sedentary lifestyle, domesticated animals and began farming. Reduced food diversity, improved food processing technology, falling food prices and consequent increased intake of simple carbohydrates, saturated fats and salts, led to nutritional deficiency, obesity and metabolic syndrome, which are a trademark of the late 20th and early 21st century. As a consequence, a large number of diets have appeared on the market, which promise weight loss and a healthier life. One of these diets relies on a pre-farm diet, but its health effects are controversial. srp Šunderić, Miloš
