Ray Mears: Wild Food - Woodland



"Today, our bodies are the same as those of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, but our diets are very different. Microwave meals and fast-food snacks are light years away from a diet of wilted nettles and berries. In an age where obesity is a growing problem, Ray asks if there is something to be learnt by looking at the diets of our Stone Age ancestors.

Ray Mears: Wild Food - Coast

"Ray finds out just what Britain's coast had to offer our ancestors, as he continues to explore the wild food that tickled the taste buds of Stone Age man. The coastline of Stone Age Britain was rather different than it is today, as Britain was yet to become an island."
