Hello Mark, everyone following some kind of unusual diet will probably be drawn into discussions about it, like i have encountered it in the past about 15 years. My own diet is vegetarian, that's true, but I'm not a typical one. Most of this species contentrate on avoiding meat. For me it's a little different. I am primarily searching for a way to lead a lifestyle as natural as possible and that's why I'm feeling at home with paleonutrition. My main goal in still dealing with that topic is to learn about how to avoid best long-term deseases, auto-imun deseases, viral infections and how to achieve peak fitness. In search of a natural, anchestral nutrition IMO there's still a lot of work and understanding needed. At first the question of the practical implementations through presently available food items. How much of genetically altered food items for example may we tolerate? That's the question for deer/pigs as well as for onions/broccoli. In search of practical available food items, i think many mistakes could be made by selecting a too small variety and by violating some basic principles. Basic principles could be - fat compositions the body never adapted to - lack of supply on any vitamin or mineral - lack of redox substances.
