*** Does this include raw milk, or only pasteurized/homogenized? I didn't 
mean to say I was eating grains of any kind, although I do think the more 
highly processed they are the worse they are. Start out bad and go downhill 
from there.

*** No, many have bizarre unpronounceable ingredients, but the nutrient 
profile matches the Paleo profile.

*** Depends on which Paleo guru you're talking to--I mentioned (some) energy 
bars as being in common with canola oil--certainly neither is a paleo 
ingredient, but both have been recommended by some as consistent with a 
paleo diet.

*** Of course not. I agree with the basic theory of Paleo nutrition, and I 
find all of the authors/advocates to have valuable input. I think some stray 
pretty far off the mark from time to time, though, your honey example being 
a prime one. I've seen modern hunter/gathers risk life and limb to obtain 
raw honey, and bees predate humans by millions of years, I believe.
