I may be showing my ignorance here, but I'm not sure I get the logic of
eating seasonally.  If the paleo diet is based on the idea that we eat
what we ate while evolving on the savannahs of Africa, then wouldn't that
be the climate we'd be concerned with emulating, instead of a more
temperate one?  I am not a climatologist and really don't know much about
a climate where I've never been, other than there are long seasons of wet
and dry, but that it's relatively warm all year -- certainly warm enough
that plants and animals will not be as limited in their growth and
reproduction as they would in more temperate climes.  Wouldn't you be just
as likely to find an egg in January as in July in an equatorial climate?

(If I'm way out in the dark on this one, pointers to further reading would
be appreciated.)
