Amadeus:

Maybe your own words will help clarify: "but it's always a question of
amounts."

 >Plants as well as animals occured in great variety. That's pro variety.

Yes, variety is good.

 >Is there a point you would refer to? Or something else?

Just the obvious that there are limits to proportions and amounts of foods
and food categories that can be consumed in a paleo context.

Amadeus:

I see you are still quite nimble at the Bavarian two-step. ;-)

"Sure" is without the "h".

A Freudian slip? :)

Perish the thought. ;-)

 >What I do argue for is to emphasise the importance of paleolithic plant food.

But not in paleo proportions.

Definitely.

 >Better than "just eat cows" and then some berries and that was it.

And certainly better than "just eat as much plant food as possible". ;-)
