i have a question about the "paleo-ness" of certain sugars. very obviously refined cane sugar is not, what about such sweets as maple and birch syrup/sugar and honey? i can guess that eating them everyday is probably un paleo, but my guess would be it would be accesible to paleolithic eaters, just not in large quantity. So far today consisted of nuts and fruit in the a.m. and nice piece of grilled coconut salmon and coal roasted carrots. i'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my copy of Cordain's book. Is anyone else familiar with weston price and sally fallon's book nourishing traditions? what is your opinion of that book? i know dairy just isn't paleo...regardless of whether or not it is good for you (which i believe is questionable anyway) she also suggested eating grains in moderation only after sprouting or soaking away such things like phytates. darcey We cannot claim to be taking our species and our planet seriously until we acknowledge that a million years is a proper unit of political time. --Colin Tudge "The time before history" Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
