What kind of food processing was done in paleo times?  What about teas?  It
doesn't strike me as impossible that a tea might have been made, then.  The
information I am short of, is how the paleo's ate, not simply what ingrediants.
 Perhaps it isn't known.  But I wonder if they ate plants and meats together,
or separately, for example.  (some dietitions think this is an important
feature of diets). Did they gorge and eat huge meals, 1 or 2 a day (or fewer)
or eat many small snacks of gathered berries and nuts, pieces of dried meat, or
whatever?  Any ideas?
