Yes, maybe, but which Paleo men where? How widespread is either  
plant, compared to early man? And when do you suppose food combining  
started being done? And how would it occur to Paleo man to sweeten a  
food? It's more as if he would eat what tasted good until it didn't  
and then move on to something else.

Just my two cents; I eat what I want, but I can't pretend it's all  
absolutely Paleo.
