Many of the staples of the Western diet simply haven't been around for longer than 15,000 years (agriculture), many in fact less than 100 years (heavily processed foods). It's not about ancestors all eating the same thing; it's about the fact we've introduced tons of new things, some we can handle and some we can't (and it probably varies per person).
