And the Bible that I READ (sorry, just a note back to something someone else said...yes, some of us DO READ IT), advocates the 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.
