Thanks Toby.  I would like to try it.  But it won't be easy.  With my two
young children and overworked wife, the last thing I can do is come home
and say I can't eat anything here, would you fix me a steak and salad?  I
know, I know, I could fix it myself, but with coming home at 6:30 and
having to get the kids to bed and read to them and this and that, I don't
have the time.  So right now the diet is of interest to me for intellectual
reasons, and for fun reading (there are some really smart people on here),
and maybe little by little I can gradually work my way toward Paleolithic
eating.
        Years ago, when it was just my wife, I ate no fat vegetarian.  It was a
constant struggle to have the foods in that I needed and to prepare it all
and to always be the one in the crowd that needed something different.  I'm
not sure if I can do it all now.  But I'd like to.  At least to some level.
