As far as items being 100% Paleo, I feel that eating modern foods  
already skews that principle fairly well. But, more importantly, I  
know I cannot obtain plants, and in some cases, animals,  containing  
the amount of nutrients I believe I need not only to stay healthy but  
to make improvements in my condition. Our daily lives are full of  
assaults unknown to primitive man, and we all carry inherited  
disease, dysfunction, and poor structure from the mistakes and lacks  
of previous generations.

Because of that, I embrace whole food supplements to more truly  
approximate an abundant natural diet. I do avoid soy, and I do  
agonize over the small bits of bran here and there, but grass powders  
certainly are Paleo except for the concentration thereof, and I feel  
they offer valuable nutrition, especially in stressful times like a  
pregnancy. There are other products with better formulation than his.

I also use carefully chosen fruit and vegetable concentrates, and  
fish oil, all to make up for what I cannot possibly eat as I should.  
That said, I eat as much natural food as possible, of the highest  
quality, always considering what each bite will do for me.
