First, the post to which you respond now was my response to a Hans post. I
have nothing against either of you, just wanted to make that clear.
Having done so, I fully accept that you use numerous paleolithic principles.
I still, however, stand by my statement that by definition the paleodiet
contains meat and the vegetarian diet does not. It seems we may agree on
that. And I don't even mind agreeing to disagree, unlike some people I know
who can only hold conversations with clones. But that's another issue.
>You say that you eat 90% meat.
When did I ever say that? I don't. In fact, I'll begin eating a lower
percentage of meat, starting today (another post on that later), but I've
never eaten 90% meat.
As for Marylee's curiosity on whether someone had advocated Pizza Hut, no
one has. I was illustrating my "life has shades of gray" statement. The
question was, if the true paleodiet is unavailable, should I just give up
and go to, say, Pizza Hut? To which I say, of course not.
You wished me health. Remember, this is not a fight. But the fact is that
my health is at its best when I eat the modern adaptation of the paleodiet,
including good ol' London broil from King Soopers. I don't have an
immediate adverse reaction to grain-fed beef. I don't appear to have ANY
significant negative reactions to grain-fed beef, frankly. Is it my first
choice? No. But can I afford pasture-fed beef at the moment? No.
Amadeus, if I ate what you eat, I would not obtain optimal health. So I eat
what's best for me. And you eat what's best for you, and Mary gives her son
what's best for him, and Ray hunts small animals with a hawk and so forth
and so on. I have NEVER said you can't eat what you want and I never will.
I WILL say, however, that the early human diet included meat and that meat
is good for human beings. Some meats are better than others, granted, but
meat is good. I think I'm correct in saying the vast majority of the fine
folks on this list agree with me on that.
