movie
buffs as he makes his choices for this weekend's Oscar Pool. Canadian

4. QUIRKS AND QUARKS:
This week on Quirks and Quarks... From Cave Cravings to
Canapes: The Evolution of Human Diet.
Advice for healthy eating is everywhere.One long-standing suggestion is
to get
back to our roots, and eat the kinds of foods our ancestors did. After
all, if
we evolved to eat certain foods, wouldn't that be what's best for us
today?
The problem is that it's difficult to determine what those ancient
cave-people
were consuming, but new research, explains why a prehistoric diet may
not be
the best choice for us now. Plus - why bird-brain may be a misnomer.
All this and more on Quirks & Quarks, with host Bob McDonald, Saturday
right
after the noon news on CBC Radio One.
