That is no doubt true, just as feedlot meats are considered by
many to be "far from paleo" for similar reasons. In the
strictest sense of the word, the only foods that are paleo are
literally wild foods: wild game and undomesticated plant foods.
Almost nothing found in a supermarket would satisfy this
definition, and Ray Audette's "hunter-gatherer in the
supermarket" would be doomed to frustration. Very few are going
to succeed in implementing a paleodiet at this level of purity,
or even make the attempt. For the rest, it's enough to know that
a food is the *type* of food that could be considered strictly
paleo, even though it has been altered in ways that probably
compromise its value.
