Since this fall I have been adjusting my eating to the basic ideas of the paleodiet. It strikes me that one of the most relevant factors in this procedure have been a sort of limited deviations, by primarily integrating the main pillars, namely *No dairy *No grain I have been reasoning in a way which has tended to allow a certain amount of unhealthy substances as well as a certain imbalance in the sources of nutrition. For instance I sometimes come to eat salty charcuteries, smoked game steaks, salted jerky, smoked salmon and salty marinades. I have placed the deconstruction of my severe cultural conditioning on highest priority so as to defeat the greates strenght of the cultural impulses involved in my food habits, leaving me free to choose amongst a world of different options. This is not rarely in a way which basically leads me up the garden path however, I seem to be fooling myself into believing the products I buy really do not contain any hasardous amounts of the unhealthy substances in question. I have found it so difficult to shake off the cultural habits in my food intakes that I, for example, through one period ate immoderate amounts of fruit. Thus I have somehow reached a point where both salty and sweet tastes make me nauseous, I feel myself at risk and physically inbalanced on a daily basis due to insufficient food intakes. Furthermore I have gained weight and feel weak, the other day I suddenly discovered that I have a double chin! Now the only foods which to me seem entirely paleolithic are *Tender sprouts *Game *Unpoluted seafood Which is where I begin wondering. It would very well be worth the while in case these various deviations eventually lead up to a point of sheer clarity both in the regular content of the diet and in its correspondance to the virtual conditions which apply to my case. Such a correspondance would in its essence mean various restrictions which, for one thing, would imply no variation in the greens the diet includes. To cope with the nervosity of culture one could simply indulge in unlimited amounts of hot herbal digestion tea in a thermos always close at hand. But is this 'static variation' healthy? It is hardly difficult to imagine that the cavemen were eating, in an extension of time, that which their premisses allowed for, hence let's say a few kilos of shoots and a couple of deers a week per group.
