For those concerned about vitamins, Voegtlin's
book The Stone Age Diet has a chart demonstrating that all the necessary
vitamins can be obtained from meat, with the
exception of C, which apparantly can be
manufactured by the body, because Inuits
eating a meat-only diet do not get scurvy (but
sailors eating salt-preserved meats did) and D,
for which we need sunlight. My
real concern would be for calcium since we do not chew/eat bones.

Try to put the evil thought of "supplements" out of your mind for a moment.
Are you suggesting that carotenoids found in fruits and vegetables are
somehow not a "paleofood"?

Independant of the foods we eat? That would certainly make most of our
concerns about nutrition quite moot.
