> I don't have to.  It's in the bibliography of Cordain's paper.

If you are genuinely interested to discuss this issue, let me ask a simple
question...
what plant food did the aborigines use to provide bulk calories? give me the
full scientific name, don't just say 'tubers.' Or did Cordain provide such
information [no, of course not]. How then did he arrive at the magical 23%
figure? which tribes consumed this amount?

aborigines ate a lot of plants, but none have been commercialised as food.
because they are relatively useless as a source of calories.

Even if we grant this figure [which i dont] what we have is 77% of calories
derived from animal foods. This is the rock bottom of paleo eating: the vast
majority of calories from animal foods.

The point i was making [perhaps too subtly] was that Cordain is an authority
in the same vein as Drs Weil, Ornish, Sears, Atkins  etc etc..resident
clowns of the diet industry. Can you really take seriously someone who
recommends cooking with flax seed oil?
