GM, dr. Kurzban. Great job as usual, but i have aquestion.
I don't get why you say "menu taboo" are "choice free": choosing a food instead of another is quite an important problem for an individual.
E.g. a nomad herder depends on his herd's milk to survive (e.g. Fulani children drink 5 liter a day only untill 3 y.o.) so the Aryan developed the taboo about cow slaughtering; pigs in hot climate suffers a lot of tapeworm, so semitic people developed the pork taboo.
