Kristina,
Don't forget that veg is not essential for human health, as proved by
Eskimos and the Massai. I suspect that the benefit of eating veg shows
up in the western diet because it counteracts the effects of eating
non-foods (eg grains and legumes) and chemicals in the diet
(pesticides, aerosols, petrol fumes etc). I strongly suspect that the
first group has a bigger effect on human health, and since a paleo diet
eliminates these toxins, you are removing the need for veg. Any that
you do eat will be a bonus.
I think a good attitude is to get as much fish and organ meat in your
diet as you practically can (or want). I am quite happy if the only
veg I have is half a lettuce a day, but I like to rotate others through
my diet- so for a few days I will have celery, then mushrooms, onions,
cauliflower etc.
Just my two pence.
Ashley
