As if a paleo list wasn't appropriate for discussing Howell's work.

Ray Audette's Neanderthin, page 196:

   Q: According to your theory, shouldn't I eat all my food raw?

   A: In a perfect world, yes...but modern farming and food processing
techniques preclude this practice.

Neanderthin, page 67:

   Should I Eat Raw Meat?

   Although all meat is edible raw, you shouldn't eat supermarket meat raw.

Neanderthin, page 41:

   We find none other than Frances Pottenger, M.D., Weston Price,
   and the Price Pottenger foundation mentioned...with not a thing
   negative said about any of them.

If these things are off topic on this list then that is fine. But to say
they are somehow not part of paleo discussion isn't accurate at all unless
Ray Audette has somehow became not paleo enough for you. If they are off
topic, then this list would more appropriately be labeled a sort-of paleo
list or pick-and-choose paleo list.

I have been on the list for a while now and usually just lurk, but I really
get the feeling that it upsets some people when they find out there are
people out there more paleo than they are.

I think that was an excellent way of putting that and well said.
