Message definition (Food and drink prohibitions)
[[Norse settlements in Greenland|Norse settlers in Greenland]] (10th–15th centuries AD) may have developed a taboo against fish consumption, as recounted in [[Jared Diamond]]'s ''[[Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed]]''. This is unusual, as [[Norsemen]] did not generally have a taboo against fish, Diamond noting that "Fish bones account for much less than 0.1% of animal bones recovered at Greenland Norse archeological sites, compared to between 50 and 95% at most contemporary [[Iceland]], northern [[Norway]], and [[Shetland]] sites." However, this has been disputed by archaeologists.
