A few years back I knew a guy who had a son about 5 at the time, he  
was in the kids group of my old kung fu club.  The boy was irritable,  
and always seemed a bit slow.  He couldn't concentrate and could never  
do things as well as the other children.

Turns out his dad was vegetarian, and fed his son a vegetarian diet  
too.  I'm still convinced that was the reason he was so behind.

However, I have a feeling you'd more likely get arrested for feeding  
your children a paleo diet than a vegetarian one, even if the paleo- 
fed child was in perfect health and the vegetarian one was mentally  
and physically behind.  (I don't know though, I'd love to be proved  
wrong there.)
