The Aborigines have lived in Australia for at least 40,000 years, and in all those

 ong generations the land provided them with everything they needed for a healthy life. They also learned to manage their country in such ways that its resources renewed themselves and were not used up.

 

How did they do this? To quote Edward Curr, an early settler, they 'tilled their ground and cultivated their pastures with fire'. By controlled burning, they kept the bush open and allowed the growth of new seedlings in the ash-bed. Aborigines in Arnhem Land still do this. Many Australian plants will re-grow quickly after a fire; indeed some plants such as the grass-tree (Xanthorrhoea spp.) flower more prolifically after fire.

At least half of the food eaten by Aborigines came from plants, and it was the task of the women to collect them. Just as we eat root vegetables, greens, fruits and seeds, so did the Aborigines. Fruits, seeds and greens were only available during their appropriate seasons, but roots could usually be dug up all the year round, because the earth acted as a natural storage cupboard. Important foods were replanted. The regular digging-over of the soil, and the thinning out of clumps by collection of plants, together with burning to provide fertiliser, is not very different from what we do in our own gardens, and the whole country was in a way an Aboriginal garden.

私は以前1ヵ月間かけオーストラリアを1周したことがありました。
オーストラリア原住民の料理は、野菜や果物、カンガルー肉を使った健康にいい料理だと知りました。4万年前からの先代の知恵がつまった料理です。
オーストラリアは現在、白人社会ですが、過去4万年間は先住民であるアボリジニのものでありました。
現在多くのアボリジニ達の食生活は欧米化が進みジャンクフード中心となっているため、これまでに無かった生活習慣病が生まれました。
なぜ、アボリジニの人々に生活習慣病がなかったかというと、アボリジニの料理は、草や昆虫などを主とした食事でブッシュ料理とも呼ばれ、自然の恩恵を受けた人間本来の食生活を送っていたからであります。
このようなアボリジニの料理は健康に良いと認められ、多くのオーストラリアの人々に少しずつ見直されてきています。
