----- From: "David Karas" > idea here is to get all of your nutrition from food. Supplements are off > topic. (fish oils are ok to discuss here). > > David Karas > listowner paleofood David, I would like to lodge my respectful disagreement. Fish oil is the by-product of an industrial process as is the production of many food supplements. Paleo purity is an unattainable ideal for almost everyone on this list. I believe I can safely assume that most of the subscribers to your list have a primary interest in personal health (anthropolgic issues as well). Most of the meat that most of your subscribers consume is feedlot meat that is the byproduct of industrial technology. That is, the ANIMALS are fed supplements. While I appreciate your impulse for paleo purity, prohibition of discussion of supplements is, I think, an unnecessary and frustrating narrowing of the list. Is it your veiw that the list is supposed to be sort a 12 steps, I will only eat and talk about that which I can pop with a stick??? If so, there should be no discussion of almost any of the chemical, hormone laden beef, pork and poultry that we buy in shrinkwrap packages for all the effort of hauling our asses to the supermarket.
