I agree.  I thought that the dateline presentation was total crap, but
that's what I expected.  I was glad, however, to see Cordain's printer-paper
demonstration.  Very amusing (and informative).  I'll bet he takes all of
his students on a field-trip to the library for this one, and I hope he
continues to do so.  Anyway, I guess that it's impossible for a ten minute
prime-time spot to go any deeper than that, so they ended up with this lame
focus on weight loss fadism, and the equally lame rebutal interview with the
NYU woman.
