In the 'olden days people' people ate less vegetables and
still they didn't get cancer like we did today.

On average, they didn't live long enough. Yes, I know the
rates are rising, and we don't know why.

opinions only, but they're almost always correct. "If I
have not seen as far as others, it is because giants were
standing on my shoulders." (Hal Abelson, MIT)

My point being that it's not vegetable/fruit consumption
that's the culprit. Anth

The Bible also claims that Methuselah lived for 969 years
and Moses 120, and didn't Sarah give birth to Isaac when she
was 90??? Sorry, but Biblical claims of lifespan never held
water for me, and they sure as Hel don't now that I'm no
longer Christian.

In older times, people ate more veggies and fruit than meat.
Only the wealthy could afford to eat meat. In addition, the
food was all organic. Food full of vitamins, minerals, anti-
oxidants, and lots of fiber for a healthy [censored]. All this
with no chemical fertilizers, no pesticides, no herbacides,
no synthetic, cancer causing chemicals at all.

There are an awful lot of people even today who don't eat
much in the way of fruits and vegetables, available or not.

I think you'd need to go into a good deal more detail to
make your case.

Just a target, not a guarantee.
