FROM SURVIVAL TO DESIGN: Rewriting the Human Diet Code
What if modern humanity is no longer eating for survival-but simply repeating inherited adaptations that no longer fully serve us?
From duckweed as a near-perfect food source... to the endocannabinoid system as a bridge between plants and human biology... to ancient religious narratives, evolutionary biology, and emerging nutritional technologies, this book explores one central question:
If human intelligence has redesigned nearly every aspect of civilization, why do we assume our relationship with food must remain unchanged?
Drawing from biology, history, systems thinking, and philosophical inquiry, M. A. Love examines how human diets evolved under scarcity-and asks whether abundance now allows us to rethink old assumptions.
Inside you will explore:
• The Edenic origins and historical interpretations of plant-based dietary systems
• Survival adaptation and humanity's transition toward meat consumption
• Hidden inefficiencies inside modern food production systems
• Plant science, microbial nutrition, and future food technologies
• Hunger, fasting, metabolic flexibility, and behavioral adaptation
• Ethics, sustainability, and the biology of consuming life
• How future civilizations may intentionally design nutrition
This is not a recipe book.
It is an invitation to rethink one of the most intimate systems humans participate in every day.
