Mountain people of Andes were (and still pretty much are) keeping rats for this purpose (as well). I bet for most people it won't take to say many times 'grand' (as in 'my grandmother/father) to stumble on a long, long line of prolific rat hunters.

The delivery truck carries multiple parcels. Never mention the less common items. Eg, I used to shop for electronics parts, and it is 15 min instead of literally days (not only wasting the gas, but using the streets, parking lots, etc. too).

Those rules were to keep the bones intact, which was the important part 3'000 years ago.

A personal anecdote: many years ago I was gainfully employed as a software engineer, so once in a while someone completely uninitiated would come up with another 'perpetual motion' idea or some such. Of those I remember a guy who was little more down to earth, so he proposed I computerize those autodialers and we rip the benefits together. I remember reflecting for some time afterwards if I should have somehow insulted him as well :)

This is the way. Problem is that it is so damn hard to convince people even to try. Too many associate it with well-being and masculinity.
