There was teh funniest write up on the Paleo diet that said something like "remember our cave men took care to eat only the white breast meat, to carefully pick the vitamins once per day" etc. Like what i did with your comment above, i just giggled.

Anyhooo.... there is a great study that shows our body is not only built for meat eating, but for eating STARCHY PlANTs. not just fruits and leafy greens, but the things that the anti carb/paleo types like to say are really BAD for you. we have more of a particular enzyme than our ape cousins... amalyse? anyhow, it's the one that breaks down the starches. we ate tubors. we learned quickly to cook them. and our bodies LIKE that stuff -- by and large, we are not allergic to gluten, nor are the starches bad.

we just eat too many. and too much fat.

but actually, none of that is true.

WE SIT ON OUR BUTTS. even people who are "active" are no where near as active as our grand parents, much less some dudes running around on the savanah for 8 hours tracking prey!
