I'm wondering whether anyone has any differing opinion on this article.It
attempts to loosen the parameters of what Paleo nutrition really is.

This article appears to me like blog-blather.
It says a whole lot of nothing with BS tossed in,

"Truth be told we did not evolve to eat meat very often. In fact, our
primitive ancestors were mainly eating grains, legumes and tubers, long
before farms and fertilizers.

Dr. Christina Warriner (Ph.D. from Harvard University, specializing in
ancient DNA analysis and paleodietary reconstruction) gave a TEDx talk in
which she cites evidence that 30,000 years ago humans were using stone tools
similar to a mortar and pestle to grind grains and seeds."

Some humans may have been supplementing diets with seeds and grains,
however, there is no evidence that they used them anything other than a
supplement.

"Frequent meat and fish consumption are no longer sustainable."
BS of the worst order. It looks like agriculture that may not be
sustainable.

"I know it doesn't sound as sexy as "Paleo", but the Mediterranean Diet does
actually work."
The "Mediterranean Diet" may work for some, but so what?
Paleo works for many people also. The problems most people have with paleo
usually can be reversed by lowering fructose and poly unsaturated fats
intake (fruits and nuts)
