Paleo man thrived on *wild* meat AND bone marrow, organs... as well as
a fair amount of plant foods. Modern attempts to reproduce the
ancestral diet are are often a pale imitation.

Dairy: it seems from Price's book that, in ethnic groups with a long
history of dairy consumption--hence low prevalence of lactose
intolerance, high-quality, raw dairy, in the context of a diet
consisting of whole and nutritious foods, is well-tolerated and even
beneficial, in particular thanks to its fat-soluble vitamins.

For us, who have been on SAD for many years and don't necessarily have
access to high-quality foods, conclusions may differ: each person's
level of tolerance for dairy is different.
