In regards to eating fruit I do NOT eat fruit at all. It is addictive to me. My rule of thumb is if I really REALLY like a food, and if I feel I can NOT live without it it is addictive and therefore bad for my body and so I do not eat it. Now that I do not eat any fruit I no longer crave it. RE: Questions about being allowed to eat fruit on paleo. If you have to cook a food in order to eat it (besides meat) it is NOT allowed according to Neanderthin. RE: in regards to the questions on what is or isn't allowed. Also note Dairy is NOT allowed on Neanderthin. If paleo people drank milk some 10K years back I can assure you it is nothing like the milk we buy at the supermarket today. RE: in regards to someone thinking maybe milk is okay. Sincerely, PATRICIA TAFT
