Rick,

I don't think anyone is suggesting that we emulate that diet for our whole
lives.  It is usually referenced to show that 1) the human body is not
nearly as dependent upon carbohydrate-based foods as we are commercially
led to believe, and 2) it, or something similar, can be safely used as a
weight loss diet.

Take care,
John Pavao

It is my understanding that the arctic hunters occupied
that region  during the past few thousand years and are not a model for
the majority of paleo populatiojns that would have occupied the lower
and middle latitudes
