I believe most paleo munchers see it in a similar way. It's not that
anything that deviates from a raw food, eat only the way our ancestors
ate is bad for you. It's that if you only eat that way you pretty much
guarantee that you are eating foods that you are adapted to eating. There
very well may be non-paleo foods out there that aren't bad, but if you
want to make sure then you eat pure paleo.
