It seems to me that if you want to be a purist about eating paleo,
here are
a few points you would consider:
-eggs should only be eaten during the seasons you would find them in a
nest.
Chickens' eggs would not be consumed in North America. You might get a
recognizeable embryo, you'd probably eat that too. A present-day paleo
dieter wpuld never think about eating the eggs of grain-fed
chickens...these
eggs give my daughter the same reaction she gets when she eats wheat.
Wild
eggs only.
-Coconuts in temperate zones? You would only eat foods indigenous to
the
region in which you happen to be living. While it is reasonable to
think
that since people could migrate from one region to another, you can
only be
in one region at the present, so you'd stick to those foods. Coconuts,
as we
all know, are non-migratory. ;)
-wild meat only, eaten raw much of the time if not always. Meat would
naturally be leaner in the summer and fattier in the winter.
-you would indeed eat peas such as snow peas, sugar snap peas, garden
peas
and green beans if you were hungry. They would only be available to
you for
a few weeks if the year at most anyway. As a Neanderthal, you probably
wouldn't know they were toxic to you unless you got a stomach ache,
which
would happen sometimes and sometimes it would not.
