My reply:
I agree with you to a point. It is possible to have very long seasons and an
abundance of fresh, locally grown plants in the diet in a tropical or
sub-tropical/mediterranean climate. So many people assume that paleo man
lived in upper Northern climates; however, before modern man sequestered the
prime real estate (ocean front property and lush, vegetative areas), many
early groups could have inhabited such climates and eaten a diet that was
rich in vegetables and fruits all year round.
