All food on the modern table has been bred for centuries to produce the  
most return for the least investment.  That includes meat, eggs, veggies,  
fruits, etc.  Few of them bear any resemblance to their wild forefathers.   
Unless you're hunting wild game and gathering wild plants, you're not  
going to eat a true paleo diet.

It tells me that carb elimination is a good thing in those specific  
cases.  It doesn't necessarily tell me that all carbs are evil, to all  
people, all the time.  Your body *will* get some carbs, even if it has to  
manufacture them out of protein.
