Hard to imagine right? Take Corn for instance. Europeans didn't have corn until the 1400s. Corn!? a basic staple in the modern diet! Almost everything has a bit of corn in it now days.

I mean its like if tomorrow someone puts out a new natural food found from some remote part of the world and it blows up over the next 10 years to be in almost everything. That was corn in the1400s.

I do not we will ever find another food souce such as that here on earth, maybe one day on another planet.

Crickets for protein.....

It's sad when they "discover" some new superfood aka a normal plant that just hasn't been bred into uselessness yet and it explodes across the West, making it unaffordable to the indeginous people that rely on it.

Oh, and hemp. Destigmatize hemp from the THC and it has TONS of uses, including protein.
