“Are you eating because you’re hungry or because it’s dinnertime?” is the question proponents of grazing ask. We’ve programmed ourselves to eat at certain times in order to set a social standard and leave time for other things, like work and play, but is this really what our bodies need? Our hunter-gatherer ancestors probably didn’t sit down to regular meals; more likely, they chose to pick up nuts and berries as they found them and as they needed to appease their hunger. Liberated from allegedly archaic mealtimess, grazers can instead revert to their own instincts, becoming mindful of their hunger and exactly what they would like to eat.
