This applies not only to legumes and cereals but to all edible plants
"individually" as well as plant foods as a category which is why, no matter
  what virtues a diet like the one you are eating might have, is way off the
charts in terms of its relevance to paleo.

Which is an argument not to reduce intake of animal foods but to expand
variety and to seek out quality of these foods.
