I agree.
Meat was included, yes.

But not by definition - who defines this?
Paleolithic means "old-stone-age" -- thats a long long timeframe.
In practice early humans would have eaten anything - including meat.
We know that there are times which were very low in meats
(australipithecines) and very high in meats (upper northern paleolithicum).
The *extent* is still disputable for most of the time.

That is *not* vegetarian, but remember, I don't sell my vegetarianism.
I see the paleolithicum in the light of plant eating.

Like maybe a man of jewish religion who takes part in a discussion of
aspects of the life of christ. Don't you think there would be things
important to both?
