  Remember that the concept of the diet is to eat like Paleolithic Man, not to
  "eat simply".   After all, being a fruitarian (or breatharian!) is pretty
  simple....

  I really appreciated your post.  Your explanation is interesting, there was at least a "reason" behind the supplementation of omega 3 that you suggest.   I agree the food quality is not the same today, nor can we expect the same nutritional value as it was in earlier times.  I had to smile at the fruitarian example, because I was a vegan for nearly 13 years and ruined my health.   Food purists hang on tight to idealism.

  Why are our diets deficient in this fatty acid?  I consume fish every day, if not fresh, at least a can of sardines.  Would it not be better to eat the original food than to concentrate the oil into a capsule?  Is "correcting" years of SAD something that really can be done?  Isn't supplementation too concentrated for the human body?   Please recommend reading materials.
