[QUOTE="Scott Christian, post: 8065254, member: 6901101"] I don't think that is correct Crimson. Switching to an agrarian society allowed humans to increase the number of children. It opened the door to stable diets. One could argue the health benefits of the actual physical act of hunter/gatherers might be better. You could argue they were tougher as a result. But that doesn't mean their diet was better. They dealt with much smaller populations. Hence, scoring one emu and some emu eggs is a lot of protein. It developed brain size in early man. But, overall, farming increased the population, it increased lifespan, and it decreased infant mortality. Those are strong indicators of health. But we are talking about D&D. And those hobbit crops sure are plentiful. I mean they are all pudgy. ;) I am sure there are wizards herding cattle with their familiars, and hunter/gatherers on their griffins. So everyone does well. :) [/QUOTE]
