Me too, me too. ;) This is starting to remind me of vegetarians who
consider any non-animal food as good--including Snickers bars, Cheesitos,
and Diet Pepsi. Will this be what the "popular" version of paleo-diet
succombs to: as long as its not cereal it's OK.
The many questions surrounding the differences in the "original" paleodiet
and SAD, and/or between the "original" paleodiet and the diet possible
today for those want to emulate it--neither will ever be settled by
paleo-anthropologists. Yet, I gotta wonder, were such elaborate recipes
(regardless of the difference in ingredients btwn today's foods and wild
paleolithic foods) as we find for pemmican here commonplace in our
prehistory; and if so, common for the brunt of our formative years as a
species or mostly in the late paleolithic? No doubt I'm a few feet over the
fanatic line, but did our paleo-ancestors double-render/filter the fats of
grain-fed animals generally consuming a host of questionable medicines in
their feed?
Will folks who ignore the "finer points" of a paleodiet (i.e. searching out
and eating only high-quality sources of meat/organs) get the results which
Ray and his family has?
Not as snitty as I sound ;)...
