I certainly didn't mean to bring up Bible stuff, but since you did....um, MSG was not invented in Biblical times, nope.. Along with a bunch of other stuff you said. Unless you knew Monsanto back in the day??? Seriously not arguing with you, but that seems very weird.

eating of flesh, dunno where these vegans get otherwise, truly. It is NOT a sin
to eat flesh, only in the Old Testament, and that was just for the Jews. I am
not trying to be "religious" here, but I wish people would get their
stories straight. The Bible that I read happens to go right along with Paleo,
pretty much, don't understand why ya'all say it doesn't. It does
say stuff about bread and manna and stuff, yep, but who knows what was all in
it at that time. Surely not "partially hydrogenated canola oil",
lol. Just my small opinion at this time of night....

The bible advocates a neolithic diet with religious limits and rituals
that preclude certain types of animals and foods. It certainly is far
from a guide to a paleolithic diet and is inconsistent throughout. The
bible has no problems with bread or partially hydrogenated fats or MSG
etc. It is not a useful or rational guide for anything from diet to
morality.
I have read the bible several times cover to cover with additional study
of the Catholic, Orthodox, and Coptic inclusions (each bible is
different) and other writings from the same time periods.
