Going underground: A man who tried living as a badger, a deer, and a fox

I wonder why he wants to act like non-human animals. It seems perverse to call that natural. You'd think he'd get more out of trying to live as a Paleolithic human. It would certainly be more natural. And he'd certainly be more successful at it.

This reminded me of a Reddit thread today about "Which persistent misconception/myth annoys you the most?" where one of the top comments was "Removing toxins from the body". Whether he's using the term metaphorically or not, it still sounds ridiculous to me.

His whole story sounds ridiculous. I fully get wanting to connect more with nature. Living off the grid, spending more time away from technology, that all really resonates with me.

But living on all fours as an animal in a way that the human body wasn't meant to experience or endure? The guy is either full of shit or insane in a way that isn't even useful to discuss.

The article ends with a link to his book, which is sold on The Guardian bookshop.
