I think this is where things are beginning to be taken to extremes.   Selective
breeding does not make a food non-paleo, since the only thing is happening is
that you are taking an already paleo food, and only breeding the ones you like.
If the particular ones that you choose are paleo, then all their descendants
would be equally paleo.

Furthermore, blueberries have the greatest amount of naturally occurring
antioxidants of any food, which means in modern times, they are perhaps the
healthiest possible thing to eat.
