I’d only need a few months of that diet to get in shape before daring to dine at that restaurant, so…
Nope, neither one’s gonna happen. I could eat BBQ in the buff at home, surrounded by all my Parisian tchotchkes.

yeah, it could cause a goat cheese inferno.
anyway, this doesn’t seem to actually be for nudists. any avowed nudist would not be paranoid about bending over to get their napkin off the floor or need someone to “break the ice” before they got up to use the rest-room. Or perhaps this critic went to one of those “soft openings” (sorry) where everyone was a critic or connected in some way but not really a nudist?

No one has mentioned that the sight of many of us in the raw would be enough to put one off their feed. Not everyone is buff and under 35. Just picture Rupert Murdoch in the nude at the next table. Nuff said?

I think you’d get enough to eat most of the time, nor did people have to work very hard to get it. Downside being you had to eat what you managed to catch or gather for the day. Population density was much lower and limited by the occasional famine when a drought or cold spell meant food ran out.

For the main course, we have your choice of small mammals- If you can catch one, you may tear it apart with your teeth and bare hands…

Rupert Murdoch in clothes would make me nauseous enough.

Not so much.
Hunter-gatherers were healthier than early agriculturalists, and spend less hours per day working.
The advantage of agriculture was more collective than individual; it allowed accumulation, stratification and specialisation. Often shitty for most people, but a huge advantage for conquest.
OTOH, the overwhelming majority of hunter-gatherer diets in most places tended to be gathered rather than hunted. Lotsa bugs and veggies, very little red meat.

True. Ratio for hunting/gathering in middle and upper paleolithic cultures was probably about 30%/70%. One (!) of the reasons why the popular myth men=provider, women=child-rearing is bullshit.

I believe that they also died younger, in average, than modern humans.
Modern humans? Yes. Contemporary agriculturalists? No.

In average, comrade, in average. 
Most probably, the agriculturalists’ children were more successful in reaching adulthood.

I dabble in evolutionary biology, and the theory I like is that cro-magnons were hot weather cursorial predators and scavengers. With no hair, copious sweat glands, and a large amount of control over skin capillaries, we can tolerate very high activity levels at hot temperatures. There’s little competition for hunting in the middle part of the day. So the pack of early humans could be 2nd to the lion kill and get to it before the pack of wild canids. It also let us do hunting behaviour like running antelopes and gazelles down through endurance. Just a hypothesis, but it’s a fun one.

I consider myself a fairly well mannered diner…but even the best and most coordinated people sometimes have minor spills.
Splashing a bit of chilled wine or a cold martini on oneself either dressed or undressed would be a minimal happenstance.
Spilling molten hot pan sauce from your chicken marsala on the other hand while in the buff could result in a trip to the ER.
ALSO…of course it’s in France. of course it is.

No problem though - socialized healthcare in France.

Yes…one problem…regardless of who pays for it…I’d rather AVOID a trip to the ER as well as burning my giblets.
True Story: I had a car radiator explode on me. Burnt my whole right side arm, face, skull, neck, shoulder…literally the worst pain I have ever experienced, and I’ve experienced a lot. Getting burned sucks.
