So, we eat a lot of bread, stews and some heavily salted meat and our teeth will be great?
You should also eschew the use of forks: there is some evidence that the modern “bite” (lower teeth tucked behind upper teeth) is the result of cooking the kind of food amenable to the use of forks and dull table knives (and chopsticks! The Chinese had the modern bite centuries before we developed it in the West).
Eat the way most people ate until industrialization made forks widely available. Spear meat, say, with a properly sharp knife and then use your teeth to rip off a digestible chunk. Your jaw is set, but this technique might ensure that the jaws of any children you might have will like those of their ancestors’.
And don’t forget: bread needs to make up most of the caloric intake, and any food you eat out of season is going to be pickled, dried or heavily salted. Oh, let’s not forget about cheese, which is going to make any meal that much yummier! Although, bummer, the 1700 Diet isn’t going to be great if you want things like acai berries; or spices, since, if we’re being accurate, only the rich could afford anything as basic as pepper.
Good for them! It’s too bad that so many of them died so young, but hey, their teeth were certainly fabulous!
