Hi Ken, 
Okay, how would you characterize this statement? " Generally, most people do
quite well healthwise on 2-3 servings of grain products per day." 

Cordain has a pretty high profile as someone who has researched nutrition
extensively and is employed by a highly regarded university to conduct his
research and teach. I see his statement as recommending the consumption of
2-3 servings a day. I qualified that statement in my original post by
saying: " He also believes that we have passed the point of no return with
our commitment to cereal grains. Thus, he recommends eating 2-3 servings a
day of grain-derived foods despite knowing that many people are not
genetically equipped to eat as much as a single serving per day." 

Maybe we need to agree to disagree, as we are both reading the same passages
but getting a different message from them. 

Best Wishes, 
Ron

Ron,

When you say it "sounds like affirmation to me" regarding Cordian talking
about how grains allowed for an increase in human population,
http://www.mercola.com/article/carbohydrates/paleolithic_diet2.htm I do not
agree with you, he was talking about evolution and history and not about his
diet recommendations. Nowhere in his writings does Cordain recommend eating
grains--- he does make exceptions for competing athletes but I don't think
even here he promotes grain.  And whether or not current lands could
cultivate foods other than grain is beside the point.
