Ok -- maybe I misunderstood the context.  But they mention Inuit and  
hunter-gatherers and the high fat of the Inuit is a far cry from heavy cream and  
butter.  The book is excellent for general low carb high fat moderate  
protein diets but so are Atkins, Protein Power, etc.  I thought this list  was 
based on the principles set forth in Neanderthin -- no dairy, no legumes, no  
grains, etc. Anyway, I did not object to the dairy, I just wish they had  
given tips for those who do not do dairy.  And the meal plans do not  
emphasize monosaturates as they state one should.  It's a great book -- and  
perhaps the answers I am seeking simply do not exist.

am  reading the book as well, and I don't see them presenting it as a 
paleo  diet -- just a low-carb, high-fat diet.   In that context, the  
inclusion of dairy is not  unreasonable.
