Not actually true.  If all-meat diets work best for some people, more  
power to them. But in our temperate climate, plant foods are available  
 from late spring through late fall, at least six months.  If you are an  
Inuit, plant foods are seldom available, but most of us
are not.  I don't really think Paleo man would have turned down fruits,  
vegetables, herbs, nuts, and mushrooms; they would hardly have walked  
right past a source of edible and delicious foods.

What is true is that they would not have eaten the SAME plant foods year  
around.  Each individual food may only be available for a few weeks.  But  
out of hundreds of edible plants used by hunter-gatherer groups, something  
was available during the growing season.  If you lived in tropical areas,  
something would be available at nearly all times of the year.  Eating  
seasonally is a big help in avoiding food sensitivies, cravings, etc.
