Paleo man probably didn't know much about which foods were more  
nutrient-dense than others.  He did know which ones he could obtain  
easily, which were likely to increase or decrease sickness, and which were  
more tasty or satisfying.  In that regard, paleo man and modern man don't  
differ much, it's just that modern man isn't as discerning about what  
increases or decreases sickness.
